"Association for the Blind WA - Guide Dogs WA is delighted to be a part of this year's Perth Fashion Festival in a way that will engage members of the community who have been previously unable to participate in the Festival. Cultural diversity is helping fuel innovation by bringing different insights to traditional practices, and Perth Fashion Festival 2012 is embracing these opportunities by offering the Audio Description feature at several of the events this year," said Dr Margaret Crowley, CEO, Association for the Blind WA. "One of the key elements for me creating the Perth Fashion Festival was to make fashion accessible to all, and so it is my absolute pleasure to be able to join forces with Guide Dogs WA this year to increase community accessibility even further. Fashion is just as much about how an individual feels in the clothes they are wearing, as well as how they look. So I am delighted to be able to share this and open the Festival to an even wider audience," confirms Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan, Perth Fashion Festival Creative Director.
For the first time in Australian fashion history, running commentary via Audio Description for people who are vision impaired will be part of five #
