On Friday September 18th, as part of London Fashion Week, beat launched All Walks: Beyond the Catwalk - a new fashion initiative celebrating diversity in the fashion world.
The initiative - founded by Susan Ringwood, Debra Bourne, Caryn Franklin and Erin O'Connor - featured models of sizes 8 - 16 and aged between 18 and 65.
The event was a great success. Here's what some of our supporters had to say:
"[All Walks] is a reminder that true style and glamour know no boundaries – that each person can look radiant because each of us has a unique special something to cherish. I’m a huge fan of the initiative and very proud to lend it my support."Sarah Brown, wife of the Prime Minister"The most important thing is to have a confidence in what you are and not to feel that you have to be like someone else; thinner, younger, blonder. Originality is the greatest treasure."
Alexandra Shulman, Editor, Vogue"I totally embrace and applaud what the All Walks initiative is doing in breaking down the stereotypical fashion ideal. Beauty and talent come from within and the exciting thing about fashion is that everyone can be involved, whatever their age or size."Twiggy, fashion icon"M+S is proud to support the All Walks: Beyond the Catwalk initiative aiming to celebrate diversity across the fashion world."
Sir Stuart Rose, Executive Chairman, Marks & Spencer"All Walks is so relevant because it brings back the important of personal identity to the fashion world."
