Walk With Purpose

Born in Bangladesh and raised in England, Agnes Wade spent seven years running a fashion boutique before stepping onto the runway herself. At under five foot three, she went on to walk at fashion weeks in London, Milan, Paris and New York and appear on more than 100 magazine covers.

In this illustrated memoir, Agnes shares the stories behind the photographs. She writes about walking away from her business, facing rejection and investing her own money to create opportunities. Some of her most personal reflections are about becoming a mother, finding her confidence again after the birth of her son, and the husband who encouraged her along the way.

Today, as a runway director and mentor, Agnes draws on those experiences to help others find the courage to take their own first step.
