Sinéad Burke: ‘Disabled People Should Be Able To Thrive In Fashion’

Activist, CEO and fashion power player, Sinéad Burke, shares her manifesto for change within the industry. Read more on Grazia.

The British Fashion Council (BFC) published its first DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) Census of the UK fashion industry last month. The BFC promotes British fashion and supports the sector to export, grow and, by its own definition, innovate. The data showed that of the 1,529 survey participants, only 6% identified as disabled, with 94% identifying as non-disabled, or at least, not disabled right now. It’s a statistic that is out of sync with the UK population, which has 16 million disabled people; one in every six. So, why is fashion so under-populated with disabled people? Or do they not feel safe, comfortable or supported to acknowledge their disability?
