London Fashion Week embraces diversity

London is showing off the latest styles from big names and up-and-coming designers at this year's Fashion Week.

But it's not just the creations that are under the spotlight. The types of models used on the catwalks are coming under increasing scrutiny. There is a growing backlash against fashion magazines and shows which use models who are considered too thin, too white, and too young.

So at many events during this year's fashion week, there has been a big diversity drive to make sure all women are represented. Susannah Streeter went along to find out more.
