A charity fashion show in support of the Rain Man project took place at Avito's office on 22 April. The IT company's joint project with the Naked Heart Foundation aims to help parents integrate children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

 

The designers created the sketches for the exclusive collection based on the drawings of the fund's beneficiaries. Five mackintoshes were also customised by celebrities: supermodel Natalia Vodianova and her daughter Neva Portman, writer and playwright Alexander Tsypkin, actors from the TV series 'The Boy's Word' Lev Zulkarnaev and Yaroslav Mogilnikov. All the money raised from the sale of the items went to the development of the fund.

 

The event was also attended by celebrity guests: actresses Vera Volt and Kseniya Surkova, TV presenters Angelika Pushnova, Aurora and Alla Mikheeva, journalists Laura Dzhugelia and Madonna Moore, blogger Alina Ryumshina.

 

Many of the guests came with their children. For young visitors we prepared an inclusive space where they could play, draw, take part in master classes, watch cartoons and become models for artistic face painting.

 

The musical programme of the show was equally entertaining. The semi-finalist of the TV project Factor.by Olya Krasnova and The Voice contestant Yunisel Gonzalez performed on stage.
