Designers of the future will have better knowledge about fashion design, if, like students at Edinburgh College of Art, they have worked with ordinary women during their training.

I’m delighted that this is something All Walks (the initiative I co-founded) has helped to instigate as a result of a sustained appeal to educationalists to encourage students think about the life of the garment beyond the catwalk.

I visited Edinburgh college earlier this week at the start of the project featuring realistically proportioned women who have agreed to be part of the project. Many of these muses are older and curvier by far than the usual catwalk model

Ordinary Scottish women are delighted to be in such a powerful position and I bet know the first thing they’ll ask for!

Innovative design WITH SLEEVES!
