---

On June 27, Pavilion No. 75 at the "More Than Business" forum featured the inclusive event "Beauty Without Borders!". The program included vocal and dance performances and a fashion show showcasing clothing designed for people with disabilities.

Guests enjoyed a creative performance by Daniil Khachaturov and the Inclusive Association "Angel", led by Tatyana Filimonova, who performed the piece "My Russia". The event also featured performances by participants of the "Inclusive Dance" project, the ANO Centre for Inclusive Creativity "Universe of Cyborgs" and the duet "CyberTANGO".

Olga Prozorova, a consultant from the Social Projects Support Fund, spoke about the importance of such events for people with disabilities.

"For the kids, this is crucial. They are very passionate about what they do. They are the most grateful, very energetic. It's vital for them to be heard and involved in these events. We need to interact more with various groups of people so that when we encounter them in life, we realize there are no differences between us, that we are united, and that we can find common ground to help us succeed as a society," she noted.

The brand "Danylino" showcased its adaptive clothing collection, created by Lyudmila Archvadze, ensuring that the wardrobe for children with special needs is both beautiful and functional. Guests saw a summer romper for children with gastrostomy, featuring easy access for changing diapers, bibs, special footwear and clothing for children with musculoskeletal disorders.

Zhanna Germer presented a clothing collection designed to reduce anxiety and enhance emotional intelligence, made from a special material with a nanocoating.

The fashion show by the non-profit partnership "I Continue to Walk" featured models with disabilities. They showcased evening and cocktail attire made from rich, bright fabrics.

Additionally, the event included a collection by the brand "PO RUKAM" (meaning “HANDLED”) from Svetlana Yanina, which promotes symbols of Russian sign language and communication with deaf people.
