This year's Soweto Fashion Week Autumn/Winter showcase was a testament to the power of creativity and inclusivity. Among the talented models strutting down the runway was Mohamed Vythilingam, a wheelchair-bound model who made a statement with his stunning outfits. Mohamed was selected from a pool of hopefuls at the casting and auditions held at the Joburg Theater and underwent rigorous training to perfect his runway skills. As one of the chosen models, Mohamed had the privilege of modeling for two esteemed designers, Boys Of Soweto and Dope Store, and even opened and closed the show. The event brought together a diverse range of designers, including international names from Russia, Moscow Li Lab, and IMK, showcasing their unique designs. Mohamed's presence on the runway served as a powerful reminder that "disability is not inability." His success is a testament to the inclusive spirit of Soweto Fashion Week, which provided a platform for young models and designers to showcase their talents. With his infectious smile and confidence, Mohamed left a lasting impression on the audience, leaving us inspired by his story. Photography Credits: Sathia Pather Photography
