Models are hitting the catwalks globally, as fashion shows go live once more.

Meanwhile, sustainable fashion supporters have taken to the streets with their pins and needles and a chair!

The Street Stitchers, whose motto is "Stitch it, don't ditch it", have set up outside fast fashion retailers with their sewing in 50 towns and cities across the UK and 15 countries around the world.

Suzi Warren is the founder of the street stitching movement.

The aim of the week of events is to involve the community.

It aims to get people to repair clothes, create new ones from pre-loved clothes, and all in order to keep textiles out of landfill.

Not so much a campaign but to show people there are alternatives to fast fashion.

Madeleine Tanato is one of the street stitchers.

She hopes that by seeing people stitching in a busy high street, they'll be encouraged to have a go themselves.

For those who are not sure where to start or who need to pick up a few techniques, there is even a QR code that takes the user to a site with tips on sewing, like how to turn a collar or mend a cuff.

For passerby Glo Sherman, it's a great reminder of forgotten skills.
