Inclusive fashion – catwalk show celebrates disabled, non-binary and other minorities in Hong Kong
- Wheelchair dancer Olivia Chung took part in a fashion show with a difference at the Eaton Hong Kong hotel
- She wore an outfit by non-binary American designer Sky Cubacub, who makes clothes for trans, disabled and other minorities
Olivia Chung Siu-king waves to the crowd in the dark ballroom of the Eaton Hong Kong hotel as she wheels herself down the catwalk, swaying to the beat of the song Mexico by Ross Mitchell and twirling around in her wheelchair.
She’s dressed in a luminescent outfit with patches of lime green, pink, white, and check matched with her own knee-high white lace-up boots.
The crowd responds to her energetic performance with whoops and cheers and, at the end of the evening, she wins the “Parts & Personality” award and a staycation voucher at the hotel.
“It was lots of fun last night,” Chung says, recalling the event, at which the audience were mostly there to vogue – a dance made famous by the singer Madonna but which has its roots in 1960s New York.
She revelled in the spotlight and loved the sparkly make-up and feather-like fake eyelashes she wore – didn’t want to take them off afterwards.
