Sunday 4th October was the third annual Wear it for Autism at the Millennium Hotel, Knightsbridge. Hosted by leading autism charity Anna Kennedy Online and presented by Denise Welch, Jane Moore, Richard Mylan, Ian Royce, Ray Lewis and Caprice, this year was the biggest yet!
Individuals living with autism, who were selected from an emotional judging process earlier in the year, took to the catwalk to share their stories. From grandparents, to carers and teachers and teaching assistants – the dedication, patience and passion shared with the audience didn’t leave a dry eye in the house.
Dressed by Kaffa Mockbill, Jacamo and Thomas Farthing, the winners, led down the catwalk by Classic Model Agency spent the day being pampered and made over, and were provided with the break that was needed and well deserved.
Performances from The Drifters Ray Lewis, West End star Amanda Posener and Pineapple Dance Studio kept the audience on their toes, and talented performers, who are on the spectrum Calvin Glen, Aston Avery and Thomas Puttock also took to the stage to incredible response.
