I just found this from the Relentless site :

A fabulous fashion store owner has made a plea to the UK fashion industry to open up the catwalk to models of all sizes in a bid to save generations of children from anorexia and millions of women from shopping hell.

Janet Tappin Coelho, who runs the west London fashion store and website, Popozao, told 'The Voice' that the UK should introduce a campaign similar to the US based Walk the Catwalk campaign.

Walk the Catwalk wants to get designers, fashion colleges and fashion houses to stop making and showing only small sample sizes. It also wants models and clothes of all sizes showcased at popular fashion events like London Fashion Week. Anna Scholz designs gorgeous plus size clothes but will we ever see her on the catwalk? On a cold day in Hell, maybe?

"It is time to see bigger role models on the catwalk so we can better reflect what is going on in our world and our lives," said Coelho, who sources Brazilian jeans and other clothes for all women with curves.
