Diversity NOW! is the latest campaign from All Walks Beyond the Catwalk, the award winning campaign, founded by Caryn Franklin, Debra Bourne and Erin O’ Connor to use fashion for positive change. Over twenty leading universities nationwide have signed up to participate and more are expected.
The aim of this National Student Project is to empower the next generation of creatives, from all aspects of fashion – design, film, photography illustration and journalism to create a future that challenges current body and beauty ideals and by using their skills to broaden this vision and entering this Nationwide Student Competition: Diversity NOW!
Diversity NOW! is the latest project from All Walks Beyond the Catwalk, working successfully in education since June 2010, to encourage students to empathise and engage with a wider range of body and beauty ideals during their training. June 2011 saw the launch of The Edinburgh College of Art Centre of Diversity in association with All Walks Beyond the Catwalk run by Director Mal Burkinshaw. The centre is a hub for dynamic and creative thinking that recognizes the power fashion has to influence feelings and well-being.
