On the first day of the New York Fashion
Week, one model in particular captured the attention and applause of the audience.
Reshma Qureshi (19-year-old from Mumbai), who
said she feels good and had a great experience, made her runway debut on
Thursday, survived an acid attack in India that blinded one of her eyes and
disfigured her face two years ago.
For her first stint on the catwalk, she wore a floral
floor-length gown designed by Archana Kochhar, a designer from Indian.
This was not Qureshi’s first time standing up
as a survivor of acid attacks. She has been making beauty-advice videos on
YouTube.
Acid attacks, targeting women and children in particular, are still rampant in some parts of the world.
Brave Lady!
