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.
