Baku/12.05.23/Turan: A special fashion show for physically challenged people - "KEKALOVE Adaptive Fashion Show" - was held at the residence of the German Ambassador in Baku the previous day.
The event was organized with the support of the German and French Embassies in Azerbaijan.
"Inclusive fashion shows are important for the equal representation of people with disabilities in public life," said German Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ralf Horlemann at the fashion show ceremony.
For her part, French Ambassador Anne Boyon called the event "an inspiring and very innovative project". She said that the German and French governments are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities to ensure they have access to education, work, sport, culture and leisure.
"This commitment, whether in Germany, France, Europe or Azerbaijan, includes special measures to adapt the urban environment and business environment," she said.
*"Kekalove Adaptive Fashion" is an Azerbaijani clothing brand for people with disabilities. The founders of the brand are student Mohammad Kekalov and designer Rashida Aliyeva.
Muhammad Kekalov, founder of "Kekalove Adaptive Fashion" (2019), says that the main goal is to bring comfort to people with various physical disabilities.
There are two designers on the team. Their ideas go into the collection after being tested by people with disabilities. -16D06-

Yet, with the rising cost of living, many avid readers are finding it increasingly challenging to afford their favorite titles.

In a world increasingly marred by the effects of climate change, art has emerged as an unexpected, yet powerful, platform for raising awareness and sparking conversations on environmental responsibility. One such endeavor is the exhibition "A Different Kind of Climate," currently on display at Kapellhaus with support from the Goethe-Institut. The timing of this exhibition is no coincidence, aligning with the upcoming COP29, the UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Baku from November 11 to 22. The exhibition seeks to engage audiences on pressing ecological issues, blending local and international perspectives.
