Some migrants in Bosnia were able to escape the hardship of their everyday lives for the glamour of fashion world for an evening
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- For an evening, some migrants in Bosnia were able to escape the hardship of their everyday lives for the glamour of fashion world.
A fashion show featuring migrant models was held on Thursday evening in Bosnia’s capital, Sarajevo, presenting a brand created by migrants from reception centers in the Balkan country and a Bosnian designer.
The event held at the Sarajevo City Hall was also meant to mark International Migrants Day on Saturday, and promote integration of people who were forced to flee their homes to escape war, violence or poverty.
“It is really important to recognize that migrants have contributed so much to the world, and there are so many different paths of migration,” said Ingrid Macdonald, the U.N. resident coordinator in Bosnia.
