A Witham model and disability campaigner has launched a bid to gather 100,000 signatures calling for more diversity on the catwalk.
Chelsey Jay, 24, of Magnolia Close, is one of four disabled and aspiring models who have set up Models of Diversity.
At London Fashion Week last month, they launched a bid to gather the signatures needed for a petition to be addressed in Parliament.
