Men and women in wheelchairs to turn models in Chennai fashion show

CHENNAI: Men and women on wheelchairs will move the ramp as models for adaptive clothing at the 'Trios Fashion Show 2017' here on Sunday. The event is a fundraiser.
Having made clothes for her husband and aunt who are both wheelchairs users, Shalini Visakan, an alumnus of NIFT, is presenting Indo-Western party wear for people with various types of disabilities.
Visakan recently designed a one piece sari with pleats and blouse that can be worn as simply as a housecoat for her aunt.
"She could never go to temples because she could only wear nighties. So, I designed it in one piece so that my aunt could be comfortable without having to wear a separate in-skirt," says Visakan.
"Designer wear in adaptive clothing is very rare. For the show, some women use diapers and I've given them extra crotch length. For those who lack motor skills I have used magnetic buttons and Velcro."
The party wear for the physically challenged has been designed in such a manner that they can wear it independently. Students and working professionals from Vidya Sagar will model for the show.

TV Star Sreejita De Recreates Kardashians' Bikini Pose in the Snow at Minus 10 Degrees Sreejita De, who plays a chudail in the TV show Nazar, decided to pose in a gold bikini while holidaying in Kashmir in an attempt to recreate Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian's bikini photos in the snow. While holidaying in Kashmir, television actress Sreejita De decided to take up the challenge to pose in minus 10 degrees temperature in nothing but a gold bikini, just to 'see how it feels'. She posted a couple of pictures of herself where she is seen standing in a snow-filled balcony of what seems like her hotel in a metallic gold bikini, flaunting her washboard abs. The actress tried to recreate the trend initially started by Kardashian sisters Kendall and Kourtney, who had posed in skimpy bikinis during their ski trip in Aspen last month.
