In simple words
Adaptive fashion combines function, dignity and aesthetic choice. It is not limited to a single type of disability and can also support temporary needs following surgery, injury or illness. Good design comes from collaboration with the people who actually use the clothing.
What to pay attention to
- Test closures, openings and tightening routes under real conditions.
- Make sure that functional details neither press nor unintentionally pop open.
- In addition to function, also assess style, material and personal expression.
Common misconceptions
Adaptive fashion is not purely medical special clothing. It can be fashionable, individual and designed for many everyday situations.
ESKYNA note
Adaptive fashion does not adapt people to clothing, but rather adapts clothing to different people.
