Wit was not just a per- ried across the catwalk on a do a catwalk and show that a girl In a wheelchair since birth due to a spinal cord injury, she had struggled for years to make it as a model in the ex-Soviet state where disabled people all too often get left behind. Kutas sent letters to modelling agencies -- but the response was always the same polite refusals. “They told me that I am very pretty, but they do not know how to pro- mote me because the market is still not ready for this”, says Kutas. Kutas was born in Dnipro city, in the east of Ukraine, and went to an ordinary school. It was a bold step to take in 2000, when inclu- sive education was rare. There were no ramps or eleva- tors for special needs children in schools, so Kutas’s father or grand- father had to carry her up the stairs so that she could study with the other children. 05 WEDNESDAY 1 MARCH 2017 COVER STORY “Yes, it was difficult, but it is gen- erally difficult to be a person with limited physical mobility in our country. Everyone knows that,” Kutas says. In 2012, Kutas was having lunch in a cafe when a photographer approached her and asked if she wanted to become a model. She agreed and loved the proc- ess of having her picture taken so much that she soon began looking for other photographers to work with. “When I realised that I wanted to do this, there did not seem to be a single model with a disability in the world”, Kutas says, recalling how she conducted a search for role models to follow and found none. And then she suddenly came across a 1999 show of Alexander McQueen, the late British designer, where Aimee Mullins, a world-class Paralympic athlete, modelled in his statuesque and beautiful prosthetic disabilities to participate in New her confidence, Vozianov says he model, but also an adviser to the legs. York Fashion Week recently, Kutas understood that he, himself, was mayor in her native city. “It was a huge stimulus for me, felt that the world was finally ready willing to give it a go. She helps to adapt the city to a huge inspiration. I wondered why, for a change. “People are not all the same -- the needs of disabled people, which if it was possible back then, in 1999, Fedir Vozianov, a 55-year-old we are all different in this world”, is especially important due to the why it could not be possible now Ukrainian designer, never expected Vozianov says. conflict between government forces for a girl in the wheelchair?” the domestic market to be ready for “It would be strange to cut a part and Russian-backed separatists in When the Italian house FTL such a dramatic change. of this world off at the podium.” Ukraine’s east that has claimed Moda invited models with But when he met Kutas and saw Today Kutas is not only a rising more than 10,000 lives and wounded 23,000 people. “I know that now is the moment that Ukraine simply cannot miss,” she says. “It is always possible to grow, to evolve, to do something. The main thing is to create the conditions for these people whose great potential is hidden”. 06 MARKETPLACE WEDNESDAY 1 MARCH 2017 Carisma at Warwick Doha L2 at DoubleTree launches Giro d’Italia offers delicious dishes arwick Doha, Qatar’s and buffalo mozzarella cheese and youngest five-star des- Folded pizza stuffed with broccoli 2 is the new buffet restau- Wtination launched leaves, buffalo mozzarella and beef rant offering a delicious Carisma Restaurants’ Giro d’Italia sausage), Lazio – Roma (Soup with Lselection of international (Tour around Italy) promotions on rice and Fava beans and Rigatoni dishes from 6.30am to 10.30pm.
