Alexandra Kutas, a Ukrainian wheelchair-bound model, stole hearts as she strode the ramp at the India Runway Week. 

Take a look!

Alexandra suffered from a spinal cord injury at birth, which resulted in her being paralysed from waist down. Today, at 23, she hopes to break taboos in the fashion industry by becoming a professional model to strode the runway on a wheelchair. 

 

Brave, bold and confident...Alexandra is not one to let her disability come in the way of her dreams. 

 

The audience broke out into a loud cheer as Alexandra was escorted onstage by designers Nikheil and Rivendra. The model was dressed in a lovely midnight blue dress by the designers. 

 

Joining Alexandra onstage were models dressed in lovely cocktail outfits.

 

This model makes a stylish appearance in pink. 

 

Vintage vibes and minimalist fashion...that's how we'd like to sum up the collection in a nutshell.

 

The show had all the inspiration you need for an upcoming cocktail party.
