Some 550 people attended the event, held at Leicester City FC's King Power Stadium.

The show was organised by LOROS ambassadors Charlotte Thompson and Imogen Cox, who now hope to make it an annual fundraiser for the Groby Road, Leicester, charity.

Charlotte, of Hallaton, said: "It was extremely rewarding to see such a successful night. It just shows what can be achieved.

"The fashion show will become an annual event as it's fun and it works."

Charity supporters Cara Liggins and Charlie Pallett took photographs of the models on the night.

LOROS supports about 2,500 patients and their families each year.

Alex Gamble, corporate fundraiser for the charity, said: "We are privileged that members of the community put on events in aid of LOROS as this helps reach our target of a minimum of £4 million every singe year.

"We are very grateful – well done."
