This post is for all the fashionistas out there. For those of your who watch (or don't watch) Project Runway, a hit reality TV show for upcoming talented fashion designers, this season was a "first". After many years, they finally had their first deaf contestant. The selection process, as I've read, is grueling, so I can only imagine what it must have been like for someone with a major disability. He required a translator for instructions and professional comments, but he seemed to be able to chit-chat with his fellow contestants with no help.
He made it halfway through the season, before being "let go". In his parting speech, he indicated that he hoped his presence showed that a disability doesn't have to keep you from doing what you love. I hope that the general public was as inspired as I was!
