'(26 Oct 2018) WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES SHINE DURING RUSSIA FASHION WEEK Women with disabilities took part in the St. Petersburg fashion week for the first time on Friday (26 OCT 2018). Eight participants in wheelchairs appeared in a catwalk wearing clothes made by local designer Olga Malyarova. Malyarova was offered to take part in the project since her designs match the idea of the event-- allowing these women to feel like models. Speaking in a interview with the AP, Malyarova said she expected the experience to be really hard because she had never done anything like that before. But in the end, it opened her eyes and made her understand people with disabilities much better. \"People with disabilities are just like all the others.\" she said. Co-organizer of the event Oksna Zaikina, who came up with the idea of the special catwalk, also has a disability. She says she hopes this event reminds society about people with disabilities who need helps and support. Organisers found all the participants via social media. Some had previous experience of modelling, while this was new experience for others. But everyone agreed that the experience was fantastic.  \"Such catwalks give a girl an opportunity to feel the way she really is deep inside\", said participant Marina Sogoshchan. St. Petersburg Fashion Week will run through October 28.
