As a transgender man, I modelled at LFW to show that fashion can be diverse

I had my heart set on walking the runway, but as a trans man of colour who is under 6 foot, it was always going to be a massive challenge I signed to UGLY models in 2012 when they had a open day casting models from all walks of life. I thought being on camera would boost my self-esteem and my confidence blossomed as my masculine features became more defined.

In fact, the only show I know that has displayed trans men was the underwear brand Marco Marco, which choseWhen my own big day arrived, I was feeling confident but nervous. I knew I’d be the odd one out, the ‘little guy’ in the room, but breakthrough moments like this are what make my career as a trans activist worthwhile.

Nobody looked at me twice, and they were definitely not expecting me to be a model. I might as well have been invisible. Then the owners of DB Berdan found me, gave me a big hug and told me how grateful they were for my contribution to their runway debut. Realising I hadn’t be made up, they rushed me over to makeup, saying ‘he’s one of our best models!’Next thing I know I’m being bounced from station to station to the fitting area.

Bring a bucket! So that I can....
