Models of Diversity is a London-based non-profit organization, whose mission is to
change the face of fashion and modelling. They advocate for more diversity in models
and demand that the fashion and marketing industries recognise the beauty in people of
all races, ages, shapes, sizes and abilities. The crowd was wowed by MoD’s showcase
of top disabled, plus-sized, mature, petite, and androgynous models as well as models
of colour. Scouts from top model agencies Nevs and Ugly were there, and some of the
models are now being signed to these agencies.

Angel Sinclair started the Models of Diversity campaign after she appeared on Gok
Wan’s ‘Miss Naked Beauty’ in 2008. Angel was struck by the great variety of beautiful
women participating in the event, and how this contrasted with the narrow range we see
in the fashion industry. That’s when she decided with Sally Williams, her Co-Founder,
to promote models that reflect the wonderful diversity in society. Hence, the seeds
for ‘Models of Diversity’ were sown. They hold street surveys, produce catwalk shows
and photo shoots, sponsor workshops for people with disabilities and promote their
models in the media. Using social networking websites they spread the word to a much
wider audience and currently have over 10,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter. They
are now officially endorsed by the British Fashion Council as well.
