Hide AdThe sensory wear, which is made of organic materials and has no labels, is inclusive for everyone, with sizes up to 5XL available.
"It was a really amazing thing, because lots of people who have special needs or autism find it really hard to buy clothes that they can actually wear or are comfortable in,” said Kelly.
"This whole range has opened up the doors for a lot of children and adults who didn’t have that kind of opportunity before.”
Kelly, from Trimdon, was asked to take part in the event just two weeks prior and has said it was amazing to return to the catwalk after last walking down the runway as a pageant contestant when she was in her twenties.

"I have Asperger’s myself, so it’s really close to my heart doing stuff like this.”
She added: "I’m really proud to have been a part of it.”
Harvey, who is the son of model and businesswoman Katie Price, has learning difficulties and sight problems.
Proceeds from his clothing range will be donated to autism awareness charity Anna Kennedy Online.
