Synopsis

Constricting styles and limited clothing choices can restrict a person with a disability from fully participating in social communities, employment and gatherings that have an unspoken dress code.

Design has the power to change this.

Fashion, Disability and Co-Design
shows how collaborative, inclusive design techniques can produce garments and accessories that increase social inclusion for people with disabilities. Grace Jun outlines practical techniques to help designers create their own inclusive collections, with detailed examples from interviews with professionals. 14 illustrated case studies show how engagement with disability communities to co-design adaptive clothing and accessories can lead to functional, wearable solutions for people of all abilities without compromising style.
