Check out a video of the fashion show on the right:

At the London College of Fashion, the future fashion designer don't intend to make high fashion for bigger frames. The student, who are doing a master's in Design, have been following the Fashion Week closely. They say High Fashion should be presented on slimmer girls.

''High End fashion is about obtaining a dream. It's not meant to reality, it's a sort of fantasy which is created. So I don't think it should be for every woman'', says Kate Rowe. 

Only small sizes

When the students work on patterns and fits for their designs, there is noe size twelves in sight.

''There are certain sizes we have to use for fits, which are all quite small. So it's like six to eight'', says Susan Grange.

''Do you guys feel comfortable making clothes that are so small?''

''I think all the models are one size, so you need to have a standard size of girl.''

Fashion Art

The students say many people often forget that High Fashion is not High Street Fashion.

''The clothes you see on the catwalk during Fashion Week is art. It isn't ment to be something anyone can just pick up from a shop. And I do think clothes like that come accross better on a slimmer frame", says Jocelyn Grange.

But not all the fashion students think models should be skinny: Theresa Davis says she would like more normal sized women in the fashion shows:

''I think it's much better to use plus-sized models. Then people see real women on the catwalk. It's not like you just have to be skinny. It promotes a really bad image for young people. They'll think skinny is the way to go.''
