Are Disabilities Ignored in the Fashion Industry?
Disabilities seem to be ignored in the fashion industry due to crammed shops, an absence of disabled people on catwalks, and a lack of inclusive products. Sporting a complete lack of representation and accessibility for people with disabilities. Making up 20% of the population, the fashion industry severely lacks the catering for that group of people. Requiring more inclusivity from products to shop lay outs. Disabled shoppers are far from a niche market: nearly one in five people in England and Wales are disabled – presenting a market worth £249 billion. Although the fashion industry is moving in the right direction in terms of diversity, disabled models are rarely seen. Compared to ‘normal’ models seen in magazines, catwalks and a wide range of adverts.
