Ashley Graham, Bella Hadid and Winnie Harlow walk in Prabal Gurung's inclusive AW19 show

Prabal Gurung is known for championing inclusivity on the New York Fashion Week catwalks and his latest autumn/winter 2019 show was no exception.

This season, the Nepali-American fashion designer enlisted the help of some very famous faces to model his latest collection. Victoria's Secret models Bella Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, Taylor Hill, Winnie Harlow, Duckie Thot and Grace Elizabeth all took to the catwalk in his new season styles.

Among the recognisable faces was also plus-size model Ashley Graham who first walked for the designer in September 2017, after making her NYFW debut for Michael Kors.

Community was the overiding theme of Gurung's collection and his models, chosen as a celebration of different body sizes and ethnicities, reflected that. Speaking backstage, he said: "All of us are more similar than we are different."
