Wheelchair-bound models hit the ramp in a unique fashion show
By Cai Wenjun
A unique fashion show on wheelchairs was held on Tuesday to allow people with disabilities to express themselves and raise social awareness.
People who have spinal cord injuries and use wheelchairs became models for the show in specially designed outfits for them.
Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital worked with the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts for over three months to prepare for the fashion show.
Student designers considered the needs of the people with disabilities and produced outfits for them. Students and the special models took the stage with confidence.
The participants at the fashion show are members of Family of Hope, a local group that helps people with spinal cord injuries.
