NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) – Beginning at 7:00pm Saturday night, Studio 615 in Nashville presented the sixth year of its all-inclusive “Fashion is for Every Body” runway show.
The inclusive event featured models aged 18 to 63, representing a wide range of sizes from petite to plus. There was a mix of professional models and a variety of young BIPOC, AAPI, LGBTQ+, elderly and disabled women.
Local Nashville designers Article X, A Lady of the Lake, Laura Citron, and Any Old Iron created looks for the event that were designed to be dexterity and seating friendly, keeping in mind anyone with disabilities or mobility limitations.
More designers featured included Andrew Clancey, Dahlia and London-based brand Unhidden, among others.
“We are excited to debut our collection at FIFE, the first truly inclusive show in the US,” said Clancey.
Among those modeling was 51-year-old positivity influencer Lou Featherstone.
“I am so honored to have been asked to walk in this weekend’s fashion show,” said Featherstone. “Not only that, I’m walking for not one, but two incredible designers, Laura Citron and Andy from Any Old Iron, who, like me, is based in Britain! Have you seen his glittery suits? I can’t wait to represent his designs. I feel so privileged to share the runway with amazing and diverse models; it’s time for fashion to make strides to become more inclusive – as fashion is for everyone!”
