Hey girls,

Celebrating this fantastic report that I came across with you all on the latest with what's happening in London Fashion Week.

Hayley Hasselhoff walks the runway at London Fashion Week as she shows her support for Plus Size models

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

She strode the runway with purpose at London's Vinopolis on Friday as she showed her support for Plus Size fashion on the opening day of London Fashion Week. 

Indeed, attendees at the British Plus Size Fashion show saw Hayley Hasselhoff, thew daughter of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, walk the catwalk in a bold black dress and matching killer heels.

But while fashion weeks are not the friendliest events for larger women — or anyone else not tall, slim and perfectly put together - Hayley Hasselhoff says there's no reason why plus-sized models shouldn't get the same recognition as stick-thin ones.

The showcase coincides with, but isn't related to, London Fashion Week, but organizers hope larger models like Hasselhoff could eventually be included on mainstream runways.

'Calling it 'plus size' doesn't do it justice,' she said after walking in a sneak-peek show for reporters. 'It's about women with curves, and women of all shapes and sizes. I just hope one day (events like this) will get the same respect.'

Hasselhoff, who says she's a U.S. size 12 to 14, has been modeling since she was 14. She's recently returned to the catwalk after taking time for acting classes.

The showcase, only in its second year, features four catwalk showcases of bridal wear, swimsuits and lingerie. It's still a small event, but is almost certainly going to grow — the average British woman's size is now a 14 to 16 (U.S. 10 to 12).

David Hasselhoff had planned to show up to support his daughter but pulled out due to work commitments.

Hayley didn't seem to think it was a big deal. 'I'm not bothered either way,' she said: 'He's always in my heart.'
