We built Good American always keeping representation and inclusivity at its core she told Health last October It wasn t a fad that we were trying to follow And you know it s in our products the diversity of the team and our Good Squad brand ambassadors We want full representation from every angle

At my largest I was a 14 or 16 — which by the way is totally standard in the U S she said I always felt excluded from my own family — not by them On shopping trips I couldn t shop where they shopped I d be indirectly told by brands that their clothes weren t for me because they didn t produce a dress in my size

In a similar vein Khloé has previously been vocal about the unbearable scrutiny she s faced over her physique Just last year in fact when an unedited bikini photo of the reality star was mistakenly leaked she fought hard and fast to get it scrapped from the internet in a bid to avoid any more ridicule and judgment from the public

Now a year later Khloé is continuing to discuss the subject of body image and size inclusivity at length revealing how Good American works extra hard to cater to all body types during a new interview with Elle on Tuesday

We don t sell to retail stores unless they re going to carry the full size range Khloé explained That does financially hinder us a lot because not every department store has the budget to do that

I get having a buying budget and I respect that but we want everyone who buys Good American to feel included respected and seen she continued

Going on to divulge how Good American is also focused on promoting a wide range of sizes Khloé revealed all the measures her brand takes to ensure that their consumers feel represented

Even on our website — which takes a lot more time and money — but on our website we showcase every item on three different body types she said That means three different models that we re paying for the day and we have to do longer shoot times There s a lot more work and more editing but it s about the consumer

There s not a cookie cutter-shaped woman out there so there shouldn t be cookie cutter-shaped models in my opinion she went on I think everyone needs to feel represented

And Khloé revealed that much of this decision to focus on inclusivity stems from her role as a parent noting that she wants 4-year-old True — and the rest of the KarJenner kids — to feel validated

Now that I m a mom and have a daughter I want her to see every version of herself her friends and her cousins — I want everyone to feel validated I guess Khloé said

Discussing the subject of parenthood a little more closely Khloé — who also recently welcomed her second child a baby boy via surrogate with Tristan — admitted that while she absolutely loves being a mom of two it s super scary

I know it s cliché but I love everything even the hard parts she said of what it s like raising two little ones adding that her kids challenge her as a person

We have to take those roles seriously especially in today s day and age with how much accessibility children have and the information they re exposed to so young she continued

It s super scary but I take my job very seriously she said I love it so much

Khloé s latest comments come almost a year after she revealed she s incredibly conscious of safeguarding True when it comes to body image explaining that she even corrects people who call the young girl big

Speaking with Health last year Khloé noted that because she had so many issues with food and the criticism she s faced over her physique she s super protective of True and very focused on how she s exposed to the same subjects

When it comes to food — I had so many issues It wasn t from one person I guess just from society or how people critiqued my body the business mogul said

So I don t play when it comes to True she went on She s very tall People will always say She s so big And I ll say Oh she s so tall I try to make them be more descriptive I know what an adult means when they say that but I don t want her to misinterpret that
