Models on a roll

Plans are on the horizon for the world's first ever wheelchair fashion show. After the Paralympics, this is only a natural progression.

Next week, designers Nicole Miller, Lloyd Klein, Heatherette and Miguel Pena will join wheelchair-bound women to discuss the organisation of such a show. The meeting, which is sponsored by Discovery Through Design and the MUSE organisation, will plan the Rolling With Style show. It is a benefit featuring designer wheelchairs and wheelchair-friendly fashion by New York designers.

Discovery Through Design is an organisation that rewards accomplishments by wheelchair-bound women. It was founded by women with spinal injuries and it helps all wheelchair-bound women by promoting creativity and increased quality of life.
