Fashion Follows Form


Are you in a wheelchair? Do you have trouble finding clothes that fit you properly? Well I have a solution for you. There is a fashion designer who now has an adaptive clothing line. Her name is Izzy Camilleri. She designs clothes that are designed for a seated frame. Now, individuals who use a wheelchair don’t have to compromise when it comes to fashion. Her adaptive line is called IZ Adaptive. The clothes are for both women and men.

I myself have a few pieces. I love them. Not only do they look great, they are extremely comfortable. Every time I wear a piece, I get compliments. No one would ever know they were adaptive unless they looked closely or it was explained to them.

Her line of adaptive clothing ranges from t-shirts and jeans to dresses and suits.  Izzy’s clothes come in a variety of colours and patterns. For more information you can visit her website http://www.izadaptive.com She also has a store in the west end of Toronto.

The pictures included are: A leather biker jacket that separates for those with limited upper body mobility, a trench coat that is shorter in the back and longer in the front to make it easier to wear and jeans with an elastic in the back and made differently so it’s comfortable for a seated person.
