Its name tells you maybe nothing. But it will soon be on everyone’s lips. Rebekah Marine, disabled young fashion model in the bionic arm, has already promised to be the sensation of the future Fashion Week in New York.
She’ll shake the dictates of fashion. Rebekah Marine, young American of 28 years, born without a right forearm, will scroll at the next Fashion Week in New York, with his bionic prosthesis. Sweet revenge for the girl, who suffered many earlier refusal by modeling agencies.
Her debut in the fashionsphère was indeed very complicated because of her disability, as she said in an interview with People magazine. Marine Rebekah even though almost gave up her dream, by dint of hearing: “You will never have a future in the business.”
But the laying of its bionic prosthesis, one of the most advanced in the world, six years ago, and the support of her family, finally allowed her to regain confidence in it. Rebekah Marine then realized she could do with her disability, something extraordinary.
This awareness has also marked a turning point in her career: in January 2015, the young woman has walked for the first time the catwalk of Fashion Week in New York for the designer Antonio Urzi. She then asked for the catalog of the American retail chain Nordstrom. Before being promoted to ambassador “Lucky Fin Project”, an association that helps children born with “different members.”
Diversity is invited on the catwalk
It will scroll a few days, for the brand FTL Moda, at the largest fashion event in New York. Alongside including Madeline Stuart, a young Down syndrome 18. Proof that diversity is finally invited to the podium.
However, we had already seen scrolling in February, Jamie Brewer, trisomic actress seen in the “American Horror Story” series, during the fashion week in New York. Or Winnie Harlow reached Canadian supermodel vitiligo, a disease causing skin depigmentation today face of the Desigual brand.
A movement particularly encouraged by Rebekah Marine: “It is so important to include more physical diversity in fashion because after all, nearly one American in five suffers from disability,” she had said in an interview to Mashable. “We should celebrate the feature, rather than comply with what the media are beautiful.”
