Birmingham Fashion Week 2024

After five months of fittings, rehearsals, shoots and promo, Birmingham Fashion Week finally arrived. It began on the Friday evening with an incredible launch party that included networking, panel discussions, delicious food and drink; all setting the scene for the epicness that was to come!

The following day the main event started. The runway. The moment I had been working towards since meeting supermodel Coco Rocha back in March. We were at the location – Anchor Point – all day, finalising our walking order and working with the photographers to ensure we got the best angles.

I walked for four different designers – Shone, Roesque, Elie Bahar and Pue Lisa:

…and it was literally the biggest vibe ever!! Honestly the thrill of the runway is like nothing I’ve felt before. The crazy backstage chaos, the constant camera flashes, the claps and the cheers. It’s ABSOLUTELY what I want to do with my life! And the reason isn’t just the glitz and the glam, it’s this… the representation… the hope I can offer other people.

The whole event was such a joy to be part of and I am so grateful to Nat – The Queen of Birmingham Fashion Week – for including me and showing the world that the ‘Inclusion Revolution’ is here and it’s happening.

I loved all of the looks that I walked… but I will never forget my first ever outfit, on my first ever runway:

Birmingham Fashion Week, you were brilliant!
