A new designer wants adaptive fashion for disabled people to be 'embraced by everyone'.

May Gauntlett said her dream was to see "adaptive fashion walking down the High Street and being embraced"

The designer, from Norwich, noticed common issues when trying to look for accessible and adaptive clothing. "When I am creating wear, my dexterity is not where I'd like it to be… I can struggle with sewing as it requires a lot of hand movements and strength," she said.May Gauntlett's designs were recently shown as part of an inclusive fashion tour in Manchester

"It's so simple how to include the adaptions needed and I think people are finally starting to feel seen by clothing, which I think is really powerful. "Fashion for disabled people is often overlooked, and some adaptive designs available can be very plain," the company said.
