Smashing the fashion world's rigid conventions, UK modelling agency Zebedee has been filling runways with a diverse array of models for seven years.

As evident on the runways at the recent London Fashion Week, it is now common to see models from all ethnic backgrounds, with minorities now making up around half of shows, compared to 14 percent just 10 years ago, according to a report published in January.
