Robyn Coles' Naked Catwalk at London Fashion Week 2012 [NSFW PHOTOS]
It wasn't your average show at London Fashion Week when an eight month pregnant model strutted her stuff on the catwalk...completely nude, minus a hat.
Former Miss Wales Sophia Cahill, a glamour model, kicked off Welsh milliner Robyn Coles' debut show. Cole, 31, wanted an eccentric showcase, and that is certainly what she got. The UK Daily Mail reported that Cahill and hat-designer Cole are friends from home. Cole knew it was unique to see a pregnant woman on the catwalk, another reason for including her.
She was one person I knew would be more than happy to get her kit off, said Robyn Cole. I thought it would be nice she would be pregnant for the show. You never see that kind of thing in fashion.
The model showed off a series of beautiful and unique hats. Four other nude models walked the catwalk, one being Jeff Leach, an actor and comedian. Cole did admit that her main motivation for a naked catwalk was the publicity it would generate. As an unknown designer you have to find ways of getting people to your show, said Cole.
Cole was able to use models of all different shapes and sizes because as she put it, with accessories like hats it doesn't matter what size or shape you are.
You don't have to be naked to sport Robyn Cole's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. Cole suggests that the hats are great for wedding and races.
