Nothing to say, yet
In the past, there was little inclusivity for people with disabilities, but now brands are becoming more inclusive. Adaptive clothing is being designed with features like sensory-friendly seams and hassle-free fastenings for people with invisible disabilities. Examples include Tommy Hilfiger's adaptive clothing with Velcro and magnets, ASOS's wheelchair-friendly jumpsuit, and Nike's hands-free sneaker. The fashion industry needs to represent the disabled community more and create more adaptive clothing to boost confidence and inclusivity. While we didn't really see any inclusivity in the past, it is a little different for the future. Brands are getting more and more inclusive, not only for people with physical disabilities, but also for those with invisible disabilities. Adaptive clothing can include a variety of different features, including sensory-friendly seams for people with ADHD or autism, hassle-free fastenings, hands-free designs, chest ports, certain silhouettes for people in wheelchairs, and easy access to stomach openings. For example, Tommy Hilfiger has made a section of adaptive clothing for disabled people, which includes Velcro, magnets, and hoop and loop closures. This button-up shirt has traditional sew-on buttons with hidden magnetic clasps for easy and on-and-off access. We can also see this with the brand ASOS. They created their first wheelchair-friendly jumpsuit back in 2018 and showcased a model with a hearing aid and an earring ad. The last example is Nike, which is the most surprising one of all. They created the FlyE shoe, which was released this past April and marks the first hands-free sneaker ever made. In the future, we hope to see more of the fashion industry representing the disabled community by advertising more models and creating even more adaptive clothing. These minor fixes can make a world's difference in a disabled person's life, from their appearance to, most importantly, their confidence and inner being. Inclusivity in the fashion industry will help disabled people become more confident in themselves. This will also hopefully encourage other brands to become more inclusive and wise about their decisions. Thank you for watching!
