0:00:03 > 0:00:05It's London Fashion Week, and for Songs Of Praise,

0:00:05 > 0:00:07I'm at a catwalk show with a difference -

0:00:07 > 0:00:10one that's celebrating models of all shapes and sizes.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16I'm being seen and heard as a real model,

0:00:16 > 0:00:19not Nicki, the disabled person.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22And I talk to a Christian who for 30 years

0:00:22 > 0:00:26has had the best seat in the house at some of the top catwalk shows.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28God was the first fashion designer.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30I think he'd want clothes which were well made.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33I think he'd want to be wearing clothes which were made by people

0:00:33 > 0:00:35who were properly paid.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Pudsey Bear joins Josie d'Arby at the printers

0:00:37 > 0:00:42to see the final stage of our Design A Christmas card competition,

0:00:42 > 0:00:44and TV's Reverend Kate Bottley

0:00:44 > 0:00:46will be trying out some clergy couture.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49If I look good, then I feel more confident

0:00:49 > 0:00:50and I think I do a better job.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01We have a great mix of music for you today,

0:01:01 > 0:01:05with performances from Only Men Aloud and Jermain Jackman.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Let's begin the singing with a traditional favourite

0:01:08 > 0:01:10from St Mary-le-Tower Church in Ipswich.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09As part of London Fashion Week,

0:03:09 > 0:03:11fringe events are popping up all over the capital.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm here at Old Spitalfields Market

0:03:13 > 0:03:16where this evening, they're hosting a fashion show

0:03:16 > 0:03:18as diverse as the location.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24It was set up in 2008 by a former model and Christian

0:03:24 > 0:03:28who noticed a lack of diversity in the modelling industry.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31They're challenging the idea that models have to be super tall

0:03:31 > 0:03:32and super skinny.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35People come in all shapes and sizes, so why shouldn't models?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Most clothes are designed for one shape,

0:03:41 > 0:03:43and I think anyone outside of that shape,

0:03:43 > 0:03:45anyone who's a bit sort of diverse,

0:03:45 > 0:03:47really struggles to find clothes that fit

0:03:47 > 0:03:50and find clothes that should sit how they should.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55The show's stylist Dennis Immanuel knows how important clothes are

0:03:55 > 0:03:57for every occasion, including worship.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59If you're going to see the Queen,

0:03:59 > 0:04:01you'd dress appropriately, wouldn't you?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, on a Sunday you go and see God,

0:04:04 > 0:04:06and there's an attitude that you take when you dress

0:04:06 > 0:04:10when you're going to see God, so it does matter to Christians.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Today is one of my proudest achievements

0:04:13 > 0:04:17because I haven't actually done a live catwalk show.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Wow. This is the first time in five years since my spinal cord injury

0:04:20 > 0:04:21to do this.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23I love fashion. I'm very proud of that.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28And to be included to roll down that aisle and everyone watching me,

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I want to go for it.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35We'll hear more from the models later as they take to the catwalk,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37but first a great performance from a Welsh male voice choir

0:04:37 > 0:04:39with a difference.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's Only Men Aloud.

0:04:42 > 0:04:48# I have run, I have crawled

0:04:48 > 0:04:53# I have scaled these city walls

0:04:53 > 0:04:58# These city walls

0:04:58 > 0:05:04# Only to be with you

0:05:04 > 0:05:10# But I still haven't found

0:05:10 > 0:05:14# What I'm looking for

0:05:15 > 0:05:20# But I still haven't found

0:05:20 > 0:05:25# What I'm looking for

0:05:27 > 0:05:32# Glory, glory

0:05:32 > 0:05:38# Hallelujah

0:05:38 > 0:05:42# Glory, glory

0:05:42 > 0:05:48# Hallelujah

0:05:48 > 0:05:53# Glory, glory

0:05:53 > 0:05:59# Hallelujah

0:05:59 > 0:06:04# His truth is marching on

0:06:04 > 0:06:06# You broke the bonds # Glory, glory

0:06:06 > 0:06:10# And you loosed the chains

0:06:10 > 0:06:15# Carried the cross of my shame # Hallelujah

0:06:15 > 0:06:20# Oh, my shame # Glory, glory

0:06:20 > 0:06:25# You know I believe it # Hallelujah

0:06:25 > 0:06:31# But I still haven't found # Glory, glory

0:06:31 > 0:06:34# Hallelujah # What I'm looking for

0:06:34 > 0:06:37# What I'm looking for

0:06:37 > 0:06:42# His truth is marching on # But I still haven't found

0:06:42 > 0:06:48# What I'm looking for # Glory, glory

0:06:48 > 0:06:53# Hallelujah # Hallelujah

0:06:53 > 0:06:59# But I still haven't found # His truth is marching

0:06:59 > 0:07:03# What I'm looking for # On

0:07:03 > 0:07:10# What I'm looking for. #

0:07:16 > 0:07:20I've had some great moments with fashion. Not that one.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21No, not that one either.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Look, look, the point is, I've always had fun with clothes,

0:07:24 > 0:07:26but for some people,

0:07:26 > 0:07:28it's a very serious multimillion pound business,

0:07:28 > 0:07:30so where does faith fit in?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33# Smooth operator... #

0:07:33 > 0:07:38For 30 years, Simon Ward has been part of the British Fashion Council.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Now an author,

0:07:39 > 0:07:43he's written about the relationship between fashion and faith.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47This is the British Fashion Council press and buyers' lounge

0:07:47 > 0:07:48for all the VIPs.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50After all the shows, they all come in here

0:07:50 > 0:07:52and all discuss how the shows have gone,

0:07:52 > 0:07:53what they're going to place orders for

0:07:53 > 0:07:57and then to generally have a gossip about the whole day's events.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's an odd combination, isn't it? Fashion and faith?

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Do you think that God is interested in fashion?

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, I don't think it's odd at all.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07If you look at the Bible starting at the beginning,

0:08:07 > 0:08:09God didn't start with a business plan.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11He started with an act of creativity.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12He created the seasons,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15so let's not talk about why do we always have change.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17And God was the first fashion designer

0:08:17 > 0:08:18when Adam and Eve got it wrong.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21They tried a fig leaf, which obviously didn't work,

0:08:21 > 0:08:23and God ran up some leather togs for them,

0:08:23 > 0:08:24so he was the first fashion designer.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27And all the way through the Bible, fashion appears.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29The only picture we have of Jesus in heaven is,

0:08:29 > 0:08:34he's wearing a long robe with a golden sash around it.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36In his recent book, Simon asks,

0:08:36 > 0:08:39"If God were in charge of the fashion industry,

0:08:39 > 0:08:41"how might he run things?"

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Um, I could probably be held up for heresy

0:08:43 > 0:08:45and thrown out of the church for that.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I think he'd want clothes which were well made.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49I think he'd want to be wearing clothes

0:08:49 > 0:08:51which were made by people who were properly paid.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53I would think he would want to wear clothes

0:08:53 > 0:08:55that the unused dye wasn't just put out into the rivers

0:08:55 > 0:08:59which then killed the fish which meant the local populations,

0:08:59 > 0:09:00you know, had nothing to live off.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02So, I think he wouldn't just

0:09:02 > 0:09:04be worried about the way it looks externally.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06He'd actually want to know,

0:09:06 > 0:09:09"Where did this come from, who made my clothes and how?

0:09:09 > 0:09:10I've got three daughters

0:09:10 > 0:09:13who love fashion and are influenced by what they see.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18How do you think the public mind-set with regard to size and body image

0:09:18 > 0:09:21can be influenced by the fashion industry?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24It's the creators, really, at the designer end of the industry.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26They sail pretty close to the wind.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28They're trying to create something,

0:09:28 > 0:09:30an image which is really very strong, and quite often that means

0:09:30 > 0:09:33they work with particularly skinny models.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36And talking to quite a few model agencies, they say,

0:09:36 > 0:09:39"Look, if only the sample size that was used went up

0:09:39 > 0:09:44"by just one or two, all this issue would probably go away."

0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's really important that designers and stylists

0:09:47 > 0:09:50recognise the influence they have, particularly on young girls.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54My faith has been crucial all through the years

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I've worked in fashion, and one of my favourite hymns has always been

0:09:57 > 0:10:01"Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee."

0:10:01 > 0:10:05And for me, that means that whether I'm leading worship on a Sunday

0:10:05 > 0:10:07or whether I'm dealing with a designer

0:10:07 > 0:10:09or a particularly difficult challenge

0:10:09 > 0:10:10at London Fashion Week,

0:10:10 > 0:10:13the way I deal with that and approach it

0:10:13 > 0:10:16is dictated by my faith,

0:10:16 > 0:10:18so the two really have to sit together.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11When it comes to fashion,

0:12:11 > 0:12:14it's not just top models that like to cut a dash.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Some of our clergy are getting into designer wear too,

0:12:17 > 0:12:19as TV reverend Kate Bottley finds out.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Since I was ordained in 2008,

0:12:23 > 0:12:27it's been a constant battle of what to wear with my collar,

0:12:27 > 0:12:31so I'm really excited because today I'm off to meet a reverend

0:12:31 > 0:12:34who has set up a business especially

0:12:34 > 0:12:37to design day-to-day wear for female clergy.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Reverend Sandra Sykes came up with the concept

0:12:40 > 0:12:43of Collared last year with her daughter and a friend,

0:12:43 > 0:12:47and it's going from strength to strength.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, what's going on here? Well, we're having a photoshoot.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52So, this is Phaedra and Beth,

0:12:52 > 0:12:55who are getting the next collection onto our website.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Tell me about...where did the idea for the company come from?

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Well, I was ordained two years ago,

0:13:00 > 0:13:04and I very quickly found out there was very little out there

0:13:04 > 0:13:07in the way of clothes that I felt comfortable with and wanted to wear.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10There were a lot of adapted male shirts.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12That colour is amazing on you.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I like it. It's cornflower.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Kind of good, you know,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18if you're doing a wedding, you can go on to the reception.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21You look fabulous in it. I love it. Thank you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24I'm really pleased, Sandra, because for me, this is well needed,

0:13:24 > 0:13:26because what I've been doing is buying dresses off the peg

0:13:26 > 0:13:29in shops and trying to sew my own collars in

0:13:29 > 0:13:33because I'm so desperate to wear something that I actually like.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36What would you say to people who say this is disrespectful to the cloth?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38You know, the collar is a wonderful thing.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Really opens doors. Really opens conversations.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43But why can't we look like women

0:13:43 > 0:13:46or wear things we would like to wear as well?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I think I want to go look at some clothes.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Can we go shopping? Yeah!

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Sandra is helping me to find a new work outfit

0:13:53 > 0:13:55from her collection.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57I begin with trying on some colour.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02It looks good on all shapes, sizes and ages.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Now, I'm not quite convinced by this one. Yeah.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07That's fair enough.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11When I was first ordained and when I bought my first clergy shirts,

0:14:11 > 0:14:12I bought all colours.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16What I found is that in my context where I'm being a vicar,

0:14:16 > 0:14:18it confused people.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21And when I was wearing black, it made me stand out more

0:14:21 > 0:14:24and people knew straight away what that colour meant.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27So, when it comes to the colour and the pattern,

0:14:27 > 0:14:28have you had any complaints?

0:14:28 > 0:14:29Yes.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33We have had some comments about

0:14:33 > 0:14:35the clergy should disappear behind black -

0:14:35 > 0:14:38black being the sign of our sinfulness -

0:14:38 > 0:14:43and so we need to be reminded that we are sinful.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45'Although I mostly wear black myself,

0:14:45 > 0:14:48'I don't feel it's an essential part of being a vicar,

0:14:48 > 0:14:51'so I consider some more unusual outfits.'

0:14:51 > 0:14:53That's quite a bold choice, isn't it?!

0:14:53 > 0:14:56It is, but Christmas is coming!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58'And I then come across this one.'

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Oh, you look fabulous. Do I? You do. Bless you. Let's have a look.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Oh, you look great.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05Oh, I really like that.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's actually a clergy outfit I might want to wear. Yes.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10And it's very professional.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Like, I could wear this doing a funeral.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15For the wake afterwards, I could wear this.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I could wear it to a wedding reception.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20I could even wear it day-to-day vicaring, school assemblies,

0:15:20 > 0:15:21that sort of stuff.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23It would do any occasion. But it's lovely.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Very versatile. Really nice. It's very useful.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28This is the one. That is the one? Yeah, this is it.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I love this one.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Sandra, clothes aren't the be-all and end-all of everything, are they?

0:15:34 > 0:15:38No. We're doing a great job for Jesus, that's what we're doing.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42That's who we love, and the clothes are just a part of that.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45The Bible tells us, doesn't it, "The lilies in the field

0:15:45 > 0:15:47"be more beautiful than Solomon in all his glory,

0:15:47 > 0:15:49"and how much more will our father in heaven

0:15:49 > 0:15:51"clothe us who love him?"

0:15:51 > 0:15:54And for me, that speaks of God's concern

0:15:54 > 0:15:57that we exude that beauty that's beyond clothes.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59It's actually an inner beauty.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Believe it or not, September is a big month

0:18:57 > 0:18:59for the sale of Christmas cards.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Back in April, we launched our competition inviting amateur artists

0:19:02 > 0:19:06to design a Christmas card, with proceeds going to Children in Need.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Now it's time to get them ready for sale.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14I'm here at the printers, where our 10 chosen Christmas cards

0:19:14 > 0:19:16are going to be printed in their thousands

0:19:16 > 0:19:18for the very first time.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23And three of our competition winners have come to see it happen

0:19:23 > 0:19:25from start to finish.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Spencer, hi. Hi.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Let me introduce you to our winners. We've got Orla, Denise and John.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Hello. Congratulations. Thank you.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Exactly. They're all excited, so over to you, Spence.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38OK, this is the beginning where we just go through to the graphics.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42The ten original card designs, including two by children,

0:19:42 > 0:19:45have been scanned into the computer software.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48So here, what we do with the ten cards is,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51we lay them all out on a sheet into position.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53So, John, you were saying this is your first time

0:19:53 > 0:19:55seeing yours on the screen. There you go.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56That's beautiful, isn't it?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00When I first sat down to do it,

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I thought, "What does Christmas mean?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05"It's Jesus Christ."

0:20:05 > 0:20:07And I'm not very good on camels yet,

0:20:07 > 0:20:10so, who were the first people that made the long trek

0:20:10 > 0:20:12to see Jesus Christ?

0:20:12 > 0:20:15What was the first thing they saw at Bethlehem?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17It was a star. Fantastic. Simple is best.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20What were you thinking when you came up with your design?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Silent Night is my favourite hymn,

0:20:23 > 0:20:27and it tells the story of Christmas for me.

0:20:27 > 0:20:33And it's such a lovely melody, and I felt I just had to do it.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36And we've got a completely different scene from you, Denise, haven't we?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39It was obvious what I had to do. Yeah.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42So I thought of the mother and child. Mm-hm.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44And then the importance of the star.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46And I put the black cross in

0:20:46 > 0:20:49as the future of what was in store.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52I love the power of that colour coming through that.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55It just radiates.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57That's the meaning of Christianity, isn't it?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Yeah. Beginning and the end. Yeah. The beginning and the end.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04The computer then creates templates of the design

0:21:04 > 0:21:06to put into the printing press

0:21:06 > 0:21:10which outline which colour to print where.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14We probably print about 70,000 to 80,000 cards an hour.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Looks like a messy business. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23The paper is put in at one end of the machine...

0:21:23 > 0:21:24Go!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29..and then out come the cards in their thousands at the other end.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Wow. Looks good. It's beautiful.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Yeah.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35And now you can see them all next to each other as well.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37What do you think about the selection?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39It's terrific.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43It's got a real religious, beautiful theme to it. Yeah.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46But look at those two children saying their prayers.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47It's so sweet, isn't it? Beautiful.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50There's something for everyone there. They're beautiful.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54I like the snowman, his nose. He's got a nice... Yeah.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58These came out really well. And these two penguins.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00The mistletoe will bring them together. Yeah.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02SHE LAUGHS

0:22:02 > 0:22:04And now the final step.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06The prints are cut and folded

0:22:06 > 0:22:09and ready to be revealed to our winners.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Hello, hello, hello. Hello!

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I have the finished cuts.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21Fantastic. Yeah.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23I think they're wonderful,

0:22:23 > 0:22:26and it's such a good way of raising funds for Children in Need.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Well, guys, we've got one more surprise for you -

0:22:30 > 0:22:33someone who wants to say thank you.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54That's:

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Ladies and gentlemen,

0:25:19 > 0:25:24we welcome you to tonight's show by Models of Diversity.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28The great thing about this fashion show

0:25:28 > 0:25:30in Old Spitalfields Market

0:25:30 > 0:25:33is that the models represent a different range of people.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36They're from a charity called Models of Diversity,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39because we don't all come in one shape and size.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44We've been going for over eight years now,

0:25:44 > 0:25:47but now they're actually taking us seriously

0:25:47 > 0:25:50and they're actually listening to a lot of the supporters

0:25:50 > 0:25:53as well that we've got, because we've got a lot of supporters.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55They're actually starting to listen

0:25:55 > 0:25:57that there is people out there in wheelchairs

0:25:57 > 0:26:00and there is models of colour and there is plus-size models out there,

0:26:00 > 0:26:03and we all love fashion.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07I believe God gave me the talent and skill and the passion

0:26:07 > 0:26:10to want to be in fashion and to be a stylist.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I believe that my skill brings enrichment

0:26:12 > 0:26:15and it's a chance to express the love of God

0:26:15 > 0:26:18that he has for the world through me helping them look better

0:26:18 > 0:26:20and feel better about themselves.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Did you pick them out yourself?

0:26:21 > 0:26:25I did pick them out myself from local designers. This is...

0:26:25 > 0:26:27The models have all got their own reasons

0:26:27 > 0:26:29for wanting to be here today.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Nicki Donnelly was a police officer

0:26:31 > 0:26:35before a car accident in 2011 left her paralysed.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39How did your attitude to fashion change after the accident?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Honestly, before my car crash,

0:26:41 > 0:26:47I never realised how difficult fashion is in a wheelchair.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Just trying on clothes in a high street store,

0:26:50 > 0:26:54changing rooms aren't accessible, clothes are too high.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Clothes alone have to be adjusted myself back at home.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01What I'd love to see more than anything

0:27:01 > 0:27:03is a mannequin on a wheelchair. Yeah.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07That shows they've included me.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's been a long journey back to health for Nicki.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Following her accident,

0:27:12 > 0:27:16she was close to death and spent two years in hospital.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20That is when I genuinely...

0:27:22 > 0:27:25..gave up on God, and that I felt alone,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27I felt powerless.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31But I knew I was a mother, I needed to fight back.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36I had to adjust very quickly to being a woman in a wheelchair.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40And even now, it's hard.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44What was it that restored your relationship with God?

0:27:44 > 0:27:48My daughter said a prayer for me at church,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51and to this day, I've still got that prayer with me.

0:27:54 > 0:27:59And she reminded me that God still loves me

0:27:59 > 0:28:03and God will never give up on me, just like my daughter never will.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16# As I lay me down

0:28:17 > 0:28:21# Heaven hear me now

0:28:21 > 0:28:26# I'm lost without a cause

0:28:26 > 0:28:31# After giving it my all

0:28:31 > 0:28:36# Winter storms have come, hmm

0:28:36 > 0:28:41# And darkened my sun

0:28:41 > 0:28:44# After all that I've been through

0:28:46 > 0:28:49# Who on earth can I turn to

0:28:49 > 0:28:57# I look to you

0:29:00 > 0:29:05# After all my strength is gone

0:29:05 > 0:29:08# It's in you I can be strong

0:29:08 > 0:29:17# I look to you

0:29:20 > 0:29:25# And when melodies are gone

0:29:25 > 0:29:28# It's in you I hear a song

0:29:28 > 0:29:32# I look to you

0:29:34 > 0:29:39# About to lose my breath

0:29:39 > 0:29:44# There's no more fighting left

0:29:44 > 0:29:48# Sinking to rise no more

0:29:48 > 0:29:53# Searching for that open door

0:29:53 > 0:29:58# And every road that I've taken, yeah

0:29:58 > 0:30:03# Led to my regret

0:30:03 > 0:30:08# And I don't know if I'm going to make it

0:30:08 > 0:30:11# Nothing to do but lift my head

0:30:11 > 0:30:16# I look to you

0:30:16 > 0:30:22# I look to you, hey

0:30:22 > 0:30:26# After all my strength is gone

0:30:26 > 0:30:31# In you, in you I can be strong

0:30:31 > 0:30:38# I look to you

0:30:38 > 0:30:41# You, you, you

0:30:41 > 0:30:45# And when melodies are gone

0:30:45 > 0:30:49# It's in you I hear a song

0:30:49 > 0:30:53# I look to you. #

0:31:00 > 0:31:02APPLAUSE

0:31:02 > 0:31:06It's great to see an audience really appreciate a fashion show

0:31:06 > 0:31:08that embraces our differences.

0:31:08 > 0:31:12It's been a brilliant experience for those watching and modelling.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14It was an amazing feeling.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18That sense of achievement, hearing the crowd cheer and support you

0:31:18 > 0:31:20was what I really needed to hear.

0:31:23 > 0:31:24And that's almost it.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28Today we end with a hymn that celebrates the beauty

0:31:28 > 0:31:29of everything around us.
