A 15-year-old with cerebral palsy and severe vision impairment will walk at New York Fashion Week, modeling Kohl's adaptive fashion line.
New week, when New York Fashion Week kicks off, one of the stand-out models will be a 15-year-old from Bel Air, Maryland, who has cerebral palsy and severe vision impairment.
The teen is no novice to the runway. When Faith was just 12 years old, she walked in Tommy Hilfiger's show, showcasing the brand's adaptive fashion line. The line was created to help the one in five Americans who are living with a disability have more independent lives. For teens like Faith, adaptive clothing doesn't just provide more independence, it also builds confidence. With an increasing number of popular brands designing adaptive clothing, people living with disabilities are now able to dress just like their peers.
When Karen learned that Runway of Dreams, a non-profit group who works with the fashion industry to make mainstream clothing available for the differently-abled, was looking for models, she sent in Faith's photo. Through the organization, Faith was tapped to represent Kohl's adaptive clothing line in New York Fashion Week.
