What Do I Want To Wear?

In this project, Inspired by the belief that fashion should be accessible to everyone, this project addresses a common yet overlooked challenge faced by wheelchair users: the difficulty of independently putting on pants. In collaboration with my model Zander, a wheelchair user, I explored innovative solutions through inclusive fashion design.

The core of this project is to redesign the pants pattern specifically for wheelchair users, allowing the garment to be worn from the top down.

This makes it possible to dress while remaining seated, significantly improving ease of use and independence. Additionally, special attention was given to techniques, fabric choice, and seam placement to reduce discomfort caused by long periods of sitting.
