London Show Highlights - Peckham Levels February 2025
In February 2025, we brought The Inclusive Fashion Show to the iconic Peckham Levels in London—and it was nothing short of electric. With a raw, urban edge and a street-style vibe that pulsed through every corner, this show had heart. We were proud to showcase boundary-breaking collections from Faduma, LV Teddy, Force Mentale, Lissa MYJ, GoGairy and our own DL Sustainable Apparel - designers who don’t just follow trends, they make bold, unapologetic statements.
Our stage was also lit up by our phenomenal speakers, Sarah Park and Serena Novelli, who shared deeply moving stories of resilience, identity, and radical self-love. This was an emotional one.
What made it truly magical was the energy of our models—many of whom were stepping onto the runway for the very first time. And they smashed it. With the generous sponsorship and support of Sintillate Talent, who not only championed the event but amplified visibility for our models and our mission, every single person on that stage was seen, celebrated, and empowered. This wasn’t just a fashion show—it was a movement. London, we’ll never forget you.

Liverpool Show Highlights - 2024
The second show in our UK tour took place in Liverpool, at The Lake House, and featured a diverse range of models, including children!
We were invited to speak about the show on BBC Radio Merseyside, which was an incredible opportunity to get our message out there, about the benefits for our future generations of having much more diverse representation in fashion shows! We had some VIP guests attend the show including the Mayor of Sefton, Revitalise Charity, and Actor and Director Peter Sinseeya.
We loved having returning inclusive designer Lisa MJY Couture, as well as hand painted leather jackets by designer GoGairy.
Thank you to our hair and makeup team who work tirelessly backstage as well as our photographer who captured the event.
