A boutique raised more than £1,000 for North London Hospice at its first charity catwalk.

Curves, based in Crewes Hill, put on a special show to help raise money for the hospice on Wednesday.

The boutique has been open for one year and Sylvia Orsi, who runs the shop, is hoping to run two shows a year for charities.

She said: “We looked at raising money for Cancer Research UK but then we thought we would raise money for a local charity which has is close to a lot of us here.

“It would be great to host an event twice a year as this one was a lot of fun and the money we raise was fantastic.”

The shop raised £1,233 and used a range of models of all sizes with more than 150 people attending the event.
