How can clothing better serve people with disabilities?

Drawing from research and personal interviews from industry representatives and consumers, author Susan Rothman Kolko examines the roles the fashion industry plays in supporting and encouraging inclusive products. The apparel industry has challenges but is moving towards realistic adaptive solutions in clothing. From equal rights to understanding identity in the social world, this book provides insight and inspiration for designers and a working vocabulary for diversity in clothing.

Adaptive Fashion is ideal reading for students studying fashion, disability, diversity, history, business, marketing, sociology, and technology.
