Fun fashion for all: Montreal students strut designs they created themselves

The school services students, who are deaf, physically disabled and/or have a communication disorder, created their own outfits as part of an accessible fashion show.

"My outfit was a tree. It represents peace so there's no trash and no pollution," Micaiah Wiseman explained to CTV National News' Vanessa Lee. Wiseman has spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy.Renowned Canadian designer Simon Chang guided the students as they chose everything from paints to fabrics, daring them to be different.

"We have to change the world. Today, everything is the same. Everybody wants to be copying everyone else. I said you don't want to be like anybody else. Be something you're proud of and believe in your own conviction," said Chang. Grade 5 reverse integration student Bella Flanz came up with the idea. She wanted everyone at her school to be able to show off their flare for fashion.

"In life I found that if you're not like a certain type of person then usually you get excluded, and i feel like it's really important for everyone to be included in everything," said Flanz.

Maybe a booster can end this .

Opinion | Expect good, clean fun now that pedal pubs are getting a dry run on Toronto streetsYou can’t drink or play potty-mouthed music on the multi-user bikes, but it does seem like a small victory for fun. I don't think calling a table with pedals a pub is really fair considering you can't actually drink alcohol. I get that some of the regulations (that need to be changed) are provincial here…but is it really a pilot project when what this is isn’t a pub at all? Why bother?
