 TEDxGreensboro - What If?
November 3, 2022 Posted to TED.com and Youtube on March 8, 2023 Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaDRAd4D_GI Adapt to Life's Curveballs with Fashion! Fashionable Adaptive Clothing Fulfills Dreams of People with Disabilities and Changes Lives. What if: fashion companies change their thinking about disabilities, create a culture of diversity and inclusion; make a collective effort to design one piece of fashionable adaptive clothing/shoes and those who aren’t in the industry, invest in the companies. Some people with disabilities dream about fashion and are forgotten. There is a unique opportunity for the fashion industry to create more ways for people with disabilities to really live in every facet of their life.
