The fledgling fashion show and VJR jewellery designer Mariana Moorman (Marianne Moerman) have brought her brand debut.

The protagonist of this show is not tall handsome men, but all female models in wheelchairs.

Kylie uses the brand-new design idea, lets the scene audience bright at the moment: "from now on the wheelchair must also be fashionable!"

Part of fashion designed by Kylie

The theme of Kylie's first show is "Warriors of the New Revolution".

In the background of the German Talvekoidik electro acoustic band music, the painted models on the face and body are riding on the T platform in a wheelchair, as if the punk fighters returned from the battlefield in the American movie "crazy Max" (Mad Max).

This series of works is mainly based on simple and generous fashion style, and uses a large number of white, beige, brown and gray fabrics to match the new antique ornaments made of leather, metal and other materials designed by Mariana.

The author of Fashion &Art fashion blog describes: "Kylie and VJR jewelry brands make the audience amazing. I have never seen such a quiet audience at the fashion show.

They were all overshadowed by the performance behind. "

After a short break after the fashion show, Kylie introduced her inspiration and design ideas to readers in Holland online.

Wheelchair models and spectators

Fashion in wheelchair

Kylie was born in the northern city of Den Helder, Holland (Den Helder).

In 2014, she also studied fashion design at ROC vocational school in Amsterdam. She participated in the "Fashion Fashion on" fashion design contest jointly organized by the school and the De Zonnebloem in Holland.

The match was broadcast live from 4 stations in Holland.

Among the 24 contestants, Kylie's design came to the fore and won the championship.

Asked about the secret of winning the year, Kylie said, "I have designed a windbreaker for people in wheelchairs.

This has never happened before.

Perhaps the judges saw the practicality of the design.

After this game, Kylie was determined to start designing fashion for disabled disabled people.

She did enough market research and believed that there was a big market vacancy in this area.

After graduation, she founded her own brand SUE, first of all, the wheelchair ladies as the target group of fashion design.

The experience of clothing competition made her familiar with the needs and dressing characteristics of many wheelchair users.

In her design, she tried to use soft and breathable natural fabrics as well as perfect combination of the beauty of fashion and the special needs of customers.

For example, cut off the hem of the back of the long coat to avoid the accumulation of excess cloth on the seat, and at the same time add cloth to the shoulders of the coat and waist of trousers, so that people who have been sitting all year round can have enough stretching space and so on.

She has several fixed fitting models who often discuss their designs with them.

"Because some designs do not necessarily work in practical wear, their opinions are very important to me."

Kylie and her model

At the same time, Kylie also found that the society lacked attention for the disabled.

Most designers have hardly ever considered this group, let alone study their diversified needs.

"Disabled people have limited working scope due to physical reasons, and their incomes are naturally not high.

It's really not easy to buy cheap clothes.

Because the social concern is not enough, the government and public welfare organizations do not support the funds of the project. Kylie can only raise funds through the crowd raising website.

She urged everyone to pay attention to the rights of the disabled.

"Like ordinary people, they need decent clothes."

Pluralistic achievement harmony

In fact, clothing specially made for the disabled has long existed.

But for a long time, because of the insufficient attention to the status of special groups, manufacturers often improve on ordinary clothes, which is far from fashion and personality.

At the end of the last century, with the increasing attention to the rights and interests of the disabled, some fashion designers from Russia, the United States, Japan, France and other countries began to design fashion for this group.

In 2014, the disabled fashion formally entered the Russian Mercedes Benz International Fashion Week unit.

The model of wheelchair and wearing artificial limbs appeared for the first time in New York international fashion week in 2015.

In the same year, Japanese designer Tsuruta Ryun (Takafumi Tsuruta) appeared in the autumn and winter fashion week in Tokyo with a full range of disabled fashion.

On the Amsterdam international fashion week, the whole set of fashion design for wheelchair users is the first time.

Bas Koster, a fashion designer who specializes in watching Kylie's first show, is very gratified: "finally, designers are concerned about the needs of people with disabilities."

Just before the interview began, an audience waiting for a long time outside the door saw Kylie, excitedly thanking him: "my daughter has always had no confidence in her wheelchair because of her disability.

Today, she saw such a beautiful fashion show, you let her see hope. "

New revolutionary soldiers in wheelchairs

The brand concept of SUE is "Diversity is the key to unity".

Kylie did not locate himself in designing special clothes for the disabled.

She thinks that the stage of fashion should be diversified, reflecting people's original appearance.

In the past, the concept of "perfect" model was represented by the taboo of the disabled in the fashion industry.

In fact, the fashion stage lacking the disabled is neither perfect nor harmonious.

In other words, not only the disabled need fashion, but fashion needs more disabled people.

Back to the theme of this fashion show: "new revolutionary fighters".

Kylie likened the models in wheelchairs to revolutionaries in the post industrial era.

"Because of their unfortunate experiences, they are already in a war -- in order to strive for their due attention and rights, like workers and soldiers in the industrial revolution, they have to change the world through their efforts."

The disabled have to fight for their individuality, beauty and happiness. Kylie has prepared the most convincing manifesto for them.
