United Colours Of Fashion
Top catwalkers Charlotte Free, Alek Wek, Elettra Wiedemann & Dudley O'Shaughnessy head to Paris to shoot a very colourful campaign
Charlotte says: If you asked people in fashion, they would say I’m known for being the kid with pink hair and everyone else kind of just knows me as the friendly butterfly that talks to everybody.
I have synesthesia, so I relate colors in different ways than other people do. Like yellow is three, red is four, blue is two, one is white.
Elettra says: I don’t wake up necessarily thinking about color, I just kind of wake up living color.
Alek says: For me, colors give me – they bring out how Alek is feeling on the inside. When you put on a color, it could be the same, exact same sweater but, I don’t know, in black, and it just translates completely different
Dudley says: I'm from East London, yeah, born and bred.
When I was younger my mum had a really hard time having me, because there weren’t a lot of mixed race kids.
"You can’t explain color it’s that powerful that if you try and explain color to someone who is blind, you can’t do it."
