Designers showed their newest inclusive collections at the German trade fair “Rehacare” in Düsseldorf. Functional. Fashionable. Inclusive Design.

#inclusion #adaptive clothing #identity #fashion meets disability

This spring, Tommy Hilfiger will be dropping the first ever high fashion adaptive clothing collection for disabled children. Adaptive clothing, also known as easy wear, is clothing designed for people who have difficulties dressing themselves due to a disability. The range is a collaboration with Runway of Dreams. It’s a brand that was founded on the notion that having a disability shouldn’t mean clothing options become limited.

First fast fashion label launching an adaptive clothing line. Positive: the prices should stay similar to regular collection.

It was a couple of years ago that Chicago-based artist Samantha Bittman first captivated us with her intricate, meticulous paintings on woven textiles. We’ve been transfixed by her work ever since, so when we had the chance recently to visit her studio and delve into her process, we jumped. Bittman creates dazzling surfaces of optically challenging patterns that draw you in to reveal greater depths, dimensionality, and unsteadying shifts in perspective. There’s an objective, mathematical precision to her pieces but there’s also a remarkably human warmth — the result, perhaps, of giving in to the parameters created by the loom while also resisting them.

interesting textile project of Samantha Bittman, who combines woven textiles with drawings
