Yogyakarta, June 14, 2009. Blind people from the Panti Sosial Bina Netra (Bina Netra Home for the Blind) participated in a fashion show held by Festival Kesenian Yogyakarta XXI (XXI Yogyakarta Art Festival ) in Vredeburg Fortress. They wore clothes from local designers, used make-ups, and then walked with their own style on the catwalk. They did not use sticks or any other devices; instead, they counted the number of steps they had to take, and memorized when they had to turn around. It was the first time for them to be catwalk models. There were three male and four female models in the show. Danu Primanto l June 2009
