This is the lovely Hayley Morley who has appeared in every national paper there is, as well as sitting beside me on BBC Breakfast news sofa to talk about issues of size and fashion.

She is one of the models I worked with on my project All Walks Beyond the Catwalk which also made national news – another piece in the Telegraph today I note, and I have just filed a piece for next week’s Grazia.

Here she is modelling a wonderful dress by hot new Name William Tempest. She certainly knows how to make the most of her individual shape and so can you with my figure fixing tips and advice. That’s what it’s all about after all…confidence.

Well I can say I’m delighted that we are seeing one or two curvy models on the catwalk; Mark Fast was the other designer who chose to show three curvy women on his catwalk after working with us on the project ‘All Walks,’ and this is certainly a start for our industry.

I’m not happy at the tabloid witch-hunt centred on one stylist and her misreported storming off.

Having had a long lunch with her the next day I can confirm that it just didn’t happen but the tabs do like a story don’t they.

I am delighted to see women who are more realistically proportioned on our runways. We need more role models who can show clothes off in a way that we can all relate too.

And what say you? I’d love to know what you think.

    Hi,
    I agree it is great to see models who have a bit more shape, with a natural beauty. I worry for my own daughter looking at “starved” models and thinking that is the norm.
