Access to fashion - An exploration of disability inclusion in the fashion industry.
Almost twenty percent of Australians are disabled, but if you bought a magazine, consumed any media or went retail shopping, you would think that the disabled population was almost non-existent, or only existed in a medical setting. But we are here and are proud, and not surprisingly, we are buying and wearing clothes!
Access to Fashion is an event that endeavours to solve the pervasive issue of disability exclusion in the fashion industry. The event, which will be comprised of a panel discussion and runway show featuring disabled models, will emphasise the need for accessibility and authentic representation, and highlight change makers and activists within the disabled community.
The event will be run by writer, speaker, appearance activist and clothes lover Carly Findlay , with the assistance of disabled and non disabled people.It will be held in Melbourne on 1 September.
Tickets will be on sale soon.
We will be calling for a diverse range of disabled people to model, as fashion brands, sponsors and crowdfunders.
If you want to be involved, send us an email .
