Brands That Are Paving The Way Toward More Inclusive Fashion

Fashion can, and should, include everyone - by Grace Back
  • 03 Dec 2019
Brands That Are Paving The Way Toward More Inclusive Fashion

There's no denying in recent years, the fashion world has become bounds and bounds more inclusive. From lingerie labels that cater to women of all shapes and sizes (we're looking at you SavagexFenty) to labels that are recognising the need to include women ranging both size and colour into advertising and campaigns. But, there is another wave of inclusivity happening in the fashion industry that needs to be recognised.

In Australia alone, over 4.4 million people have some form of disability. That's 1 in every 5 people.

That means, for a majority of Australians, getting dressed each day is not the simple task that some of us may take for granted. Some brands have decided to lead the way, creating their own labels and lines that specifically target the needs of those living with a disability - from individuals on the autism spectrum to amputees. 

Below, socially conscious fashion brands paving the way to inclusion. 

Tommy Adaptive

Tommy Hilfiger knows first-hand what it's like trying to find clothing for those living with a disability, having children who suffer from autism. Inspired by his own family experiences, the brand made a commitment to rethinking the design process to uncover solutions for those living with a disability. Tommy Adaptive puts a new twist on tradition, delivering a modern style with innovative modifications that empower people and make dressing easier.

This new homegrown brand is a curated online shop that brings the best of adaptive fashion from around the world to Australia - providing choice where there wasn't choice before. Now, Australians living with a disability can access high-quality, long-lasting and stylish adaptive clothing.

Hello Yello Clothing

Hello Yello Clothing's journey began when founder Charlotte's sister was in her final stages of terminal cancer. While managing her deteriorating condition, it became increasingly harder to find clothing that was not just comfortable and easy to put on, but ones that her sister actually enjoyed wearing - clothes that made her feel good. Hello Yello Clothing believes in making fashionable, inclusive clothing and accessories for people with a variety of disabilities, medical conditions, different abilities and needs, accessible to all.
