"Shopping can be hard for most women, but imagine having Parkinson's, arthritis or being in a wheelchair. A Brisbane designer has created a line of clothing with no fiddly trims that are easy to get on and off with dignity."
For the first time in Australian Fashion Week history, a runway show has been created by and for people with disabilities, and modelled by people with disabilities.
This year’s Adaptive Fashion Show at AAFW saw two fashion labels, JAM the Label and Christina Stephens showing off their latest pieces, as models in wheelchairs, models using assistive walking devices and models with prosthetics took to the catwalk wearing the designs.
Business Chicks sat down with our Founder Jessie Sadler on how she bought the Christina Stephens idea to life, and what's next for us in the adaptive clothing world.
