サマリー
あらすじ・解説
On this show we speak a lot about marginalized groups, and more recently we’ve been covering marginalized bodies. In the world today we see the fashion industry slowly shifting and making strides to be more inclusive of different body shapes and sizes, however this construct for clothing erases an entire population of people with both visible and non-visible disabilities. Some zippers and buttons may be difficult for people with dexterity limitations. Some clothing closures may need different placements or openings for individuals that require access for tubes, machines, and other ritual resources in their daily life. Together with adaptive fashion entrepreneurs Helya Mohammadian of Slick Chicks and Marta Elena Cortez-Neavel of Abilitee Adaptive Wear, Bri explores how the fashion industry can be changed even further to include and empower communities with specific medical needs and disabilities.
