Ali says the chance to constantly change her look is what attracted her to fashion modeling in the first place.
“I love the diversity, I just love how everything is always changing and growing,” she says. “You are constantly learning new things.”

“I would love to branch out and start a clothing label down the line. Definitely yes,” Ali says.
Aliana has been under scrutiny for her super skinny frame, with various reports she is suffering from an eating disorder—something both she and Lindsay have vehemently denied, and Young also jumps to his client's defense, claiming she “has typical measurements for a model,” measuring in at 5 feet 9 inches with 32-24.5-35 body measurements.
