London, Somerset House.
The venue for the 2014 Vodafone London Fashion Weekend, this was my first time shooting the Catwalk and in all probability, will be my last.
I had a distinct sense of moral disquiet, watching half starved young girls, with very little self confidence, modelling clothes that will earn their designers thousands, whilst they struggle along at the bottom of their profession.
To further compound the feeling of disquiet, the crowds comprised young, impressionable girls, as well as an array of fashionistas, their money and desires fueling the fashion houses and the ideals that they believe females should conform to.
Whilst the likes of M&S and Dove have featured 'real' women, along with models from different age groups and sizes, it will need one of the big fashion houses or designers to feature larger, or older models, before the industry will move away from the waif like creatures it currently uses as clothes horses.
