She opened Lenie Boya's show at Charing Cross hotel wearing a bespoke blade prosthesis featuring a chandelier.
She told Breakfast's Steph McGovern it was great to get some diversity on the runway.
She added: "Normally when I'm out, parents will tell their children not to stare but here is a leg that was meant to be stared, it's meant to be embraced."
