PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Thomas Jefferson University fashion students designed one-of-a-kind clothes so that individuals with disabilities can fit right in.
It’s all part of their class, ‘Diversity in Design,’ through which they created adaptive fashion designs to help people who face challenges in their everyday lives.
Each student was paired with one of six clients, learning all about their interests and abilities.
For example, Ella Cascone created a shirt with adjustable sleeves for 2-year-old Eliza McGann, who has a limb difference with her right arm.
Each client had a unique path to becoming part of the program. Some were connected through the help of Jefferson’s Center for Autism and Neurodiversity.
The clothes will remain on display at Hayward Hall on the East Falls Campus for a couple of months before reuniting with their respective clients.
Watch the video above to see more creative examples of adaptive fashion.
