Russian Fashion Week, Designs for Disabilities

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia and Bezgraniz Couture features collections designed especially for people with disabilities. The show titled wearABLE future consisted of collections, which were presented by models using wheelchair, models with Cerebral Palsy, models with amputations and models with the Down syndrome.



At the very end of the show the awe struck audience gave a standing ovation to Russia’s ExoAtlet pilot. The clothes for the wearABLE future collection were designed by the first-year students of the British Higher School of Art and Design Moscow (BHSD) as part of the school’s first-ever course on designing clothes for people with disabilities.



The models who demonstrated the clothes on the catwalk consulted the designers in the process of creation.
