Bhubaneswar, May 14: In a groundbreaking event, Odisha will host its first-ever Inclusive Ramp Show, set to take place on May 28th, 2025. The show, named Adhyaya: An Inclusive Fashion Show & Disability Fest, aims to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and showcase the remarkable strength of individuals with disabilities.
The event promises to be a significant milestone in the region's fashion industry, setting the stage for a new era of representation and empowerment for all.
Adhyaya, which translates to "Chapter" in Sanskrit, will feature models from diverse backgrounds, including those with physical disabilities, proudly walking the ramp. This unique event will not only highlight the latest fashion trends but also serve as a platform for raising awareness about the importance of inclusion in all spheres of life, including fashion.
The show’s vision is to break traditional beauty standards and promote the idea that fashion is for everyone, regardless of ability or background. Each model’s walk on the ramp will tell a powerful story of resilience, strength, and confidence, showing the world that diversity is not only beautiful but essential.
Organizers hope that Adhyaya will inspire other fashion events across the country to embrace inclusivity, leading to a more accessible and accepting industry for individuals with disabilities. By strengthening the voices of those often marginalized in mainstream fashion, the event will serve as a celebration of both fashion and human potential.
The Adhyaya fashion show will also be part of a broader disability fest, offering a range of activities and discussions aimed at promoting awareness, understanding, and empowerment.
