Where so much of the media is obsessed with external beauty, this project aims to highlight and celebrate those nominated by their local charities or communities for over coming great obstacles in their life yet still achieved great things!The project will showcase ten individuals from all walks of life and so far two dresses have been donated to the cause. One from designer and BBC finalist of Great British Sewing Bee Chinelo Bally, and another from world-famous fashion designer Vivienne Westwood!
