Clothing designed for the seated body

stephwhelan

Hello,

I am a fashion student at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. I am heading in to my final year, and for my collection I am going to be looking at the differences in the body whilst in a seated position, and the struggles faced due to various disabilities.

I am hoping to gather as much information as I can about the various struggles faced from those with disabilities, or from the people who are caring for them.

Through this I intend to create a collection that will allow more independence, or ease in dressing, while still meeting the current fashion trends.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, looking forward to hearing from you

Thanks
Steph

I'd love to help - I'm 30, have three kids and have been using a chair full time since I was 17, and a lot before that even when I could still walk. Would love to chat - my email is elizabethgwilliam@hotmail.co.uk
I find fashion and buying clothes really stressful! x
