High street retailers including New Look and Marks & Spencer will be participating in a fashion show to showcase 'real women'.

Instead of 'size zero' models, The Look Show at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea will include size 14 models such as Crystal Renn. The show coincides with the start of Londaon Fashion Week and features women's clothing from this year's autumn/winter collections.

'The show is about emphasising more realistic models with healthier-looking bodies,’ said a spokesman for New Look. ‘Over the past two years the fashion industry has begun to reconsider the shape of models but to have a size 14 is groundbreaking on a catwalk.’

Usually only models of size 6 to 8 are found on catwalks, which is considerably smaller than the average woman out shopping.

A spokesman for M&S said: ‘We’ve been very supportive of this. Fashion is becoming more accessible and this show reflects that.’

The show has also attracted other retailers, such as Oasis, French Connection and River Island. After the show, the featured clothing will be available for sale.
