Anna Kennedy OBE discusses the photo shoot; “Many people have the perception that once you reach a certain age, glamour and sexy are off of the table. I wanted to prove that this wasn’t the case and that sophistication and style are timeless, and certainly ageless. As a mum, wife and business owner, I am very often too busy to have the time to dress up, unless it is for events, and I am sure many women feel the same. Everyone needs some TLC, which is why this photo shoot tied in really nicely with Wear it for Autism, as the event provides a day out and off for families and individuals affected by autism. It is a day all about them.” After the photo shoot, Anna posted her favourite photos onto her Twitter account to her 49,000 strong following, which has started the countdown to Wear it for Autism, and has begun to raise awareness following attendance at events during London Fashion Week.
Wear it For Autism is being held on 6th October 2014 at the Millennium Hotel, Knightsbridge London from 6.30pm. Arlene Phillips CBE, Abz and Amy Willerton and Kirk Norcross will be hosting the event, which is being supported by Models of Diversity. Tickets are available now at £15. Please email lisa.robins@thevines.org.uk to purchase. “I want to thank Lewis-Duncan Weedon for everything that he is doing to support Wear it for Autism, I also want to thank everyone who is sponsoring the event including Third Sector Gallery, Pineapple Performing Arts, Models of Diversity, Living Autism and Miglio Jewellery. And I want to say a huge congratulations to all of the winners who will be taking to the catwalk on the night!” Anna Kennedy OBE concludes.
