All bodies deserve to be celebrated, regardless of size, shape, skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, physical and cognitive diversity. Like everyone else, people with disabilities want to express their personality through fashion, but most of the clothes and accessories available in department stores do not suit their body shapes and motor skills. Through design thinking, inclusive fashion meets the needs of disabled people while at the same time creating greater comfort for everyone.
Tu es canon. A manifesto for inclusive fashion is run by Teresa Maranzano, in collaboration with Elisa Fulco, for the Geneva association ASA-HM. Since 2021, ASA-HM has invited people with disabilities to visit design and fashion schools. After listening to their experiences, students propose solutions and create projects that suit the greatest number of people.
The programme also develops research and communication tools around inclusive fashion, enabling people with disabilities to be more visible and better represented.
