VietNamNet Bridge - Some 30 disabled female models graced the catwalk at the “I Am Beautiful. You Too!” fashion show in Hanoi on November 21, showcasing original pieces that fuse Western and Asian styles.
Held along with activities to celebrate the International Day of People with Disabilities (December 3), this was the first fashion show for disabled Vietnamese women. It aims to change the stereotypical idea of beauty and promote a new perception of beauty stemming from diversity and difference. The three designers participated in the show include two Vietnamese designers - Miss Vietnam 2010 Ngoc Han and Chu La and an Italian designer Ricardo. This is a design by Ngoc Han in the collection "Hometown". The models are members of the Nghi Luc Song Center.
The audience congratulated Ms. Nguyen Thi Van - director of Nghi Luc Song Center - who initiated the event.
