Take a determined woman with a powerful message, a vision to create an event that celebrates our bodies and champions self-love. Now, add hours, weeks, and months of meticulous planning: scheduling, Zoom meetings, rehearsals, countless calls, sleepless nights, and a constant emotional rollercoaster – and yes, at times, moments of doubt. Dry the sweat and tears. Then open your eyes to behold the final result: Yorkshire Fashion Week.
I had the pleasure of arriving early to catch some behind-the-scenes moments, and I was warmly welcomed by the visionary herself, Carron. From start to finish, she treated me with care and ensured I felt at ease at every point. Carron’s message resonates clearly: “Our bodies are art, our bodies are temples.” She embodies this philosophy fully. Her deep celebration of humanity, in all its diversity, was reflected in her choice of team members. Each individual, handpicked by Carron, brought both social awareness and professional excellence, creating an inclusive space that celebrated skill and empathy alike.
One striking detail that speaks volumes about Carron's approach was her makeup team. Fully trained to work with all skin tones and textures, they alleviated the anxiety that often shadows models in the entertainment industry. Everyone backstage was approachable and friendly, and the fact that Carron single-handedly selected each one of us to foster this environment should inspire us all.
The quality of the show, the expertise of every professional involved, the inviting atmosphere, and the flawless outcome were nothing short of impeccable. Carron’s commitment to her vision proves what is possible when passion is the foundation. So, what’s the first step in this “perfect recipe?” The answer is passion. Carron’s passion for her message and her daily commitment to it brought this grand show to life as a testament to her beliefs. Practice what you preach, and it will become your truth.
