Melting Pot

Alexandra Kutas is the world’s first runway model in a wheelchair. Ukraine’s first fashion model with a disability and also an entrepreneur. A doctor’s mistake at birth resulted in Alexandra suffering a spinal cord injury and has been using a wheelchair from an early age. She has worked to support disability and mental health awareness in Ukraine and overseas.

Alexandra demonstrates how the ability to take risks and not let anyone or anything define what you are capable of can trailblaze a change in this world. She has received recognition from The Huffington Post; China Central Television; Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and America’s most popular public radio station, WNYC.

Kutas appeared on catwalks across 3 different continents. News about her first runway show in Kyiv was featured in more than 60 countries around the world. Recently she was recognised by the Kyiv Post Top 30 Under 30 award and the Chou Ta-Kuan Foundation presented by the President of Taiwan.

In her early 20s, she saw the price of neglecting mental health in her own family and the effects of keeping things internalised for too long and decided to be a mental health advocate.
