Ticketed; Gala: Black Tie ChicCelebrating Individuals
The purpose of Equilora is to create a platform for people with intellectual and physical disabilities to showcase their skills and talent in the beauty, fashion, entertainment, and production industries.
Individuals will not only be showcasing their runway walks and original fashion designs, but makeup, styling, artwork on display, music, photography, videography, and A/V will all be contributed to by individuals with assistance from industry professionals.
This event is for the individuals, and made by the individuals. This is where all of the hard work towards learning and gaining skills gets proudly put on display for peers, family, friends, and the community to see.
The goal is to showcase what individuals with disabilities can do as long as they have a platform and the opportunity to do so.
Celebrating Champions
In addition to showcasing individuals, Equilora will also be shining a light on those who have shown a commitment to the disabled persons community.
As the population of those with disabilities continues to strive for inclusion and equality, we want to recognize those businesses, organizations, and individuals who have shown to be true allies and champions.
We strongly believe in community and understand the importance of uplifting those in need. While many have good intentions, few have the courage to turn those intentions into actions.
We will be taking time during the gala to recognize those champions and show them appreciation for their work and setting an example for others to see, follow, and be inspired by.

Through the language of couture, I hope to celebrate individuality, inclusivity, and the beauty that comes from embracing every form of strength and resilience. Fashion has the power to create change and it becomes a voice for those who deserve to be seen, celebrated, and uplifted." - Michael Cinco
