The fashion scene is in constant development but could be yet defined as normative, idealistic and excluding. This work aims to push the boundaries and reach for the constructional and expressional possibilities in designing for a seated body in active wheelchair use based on self-lived experience. Additionally to the constructional approach, raising awareness and knowledge about the issues of ableism is a topic of importance. The combination of these aspects points toward a proposal to how fashion could press social issues and create space for discussion and development. Not only in how it’s made, but how it’s perceived.
