Designer’s Cur8able Takes Adaptive Fashion for People With Disabilities Mainstream
What happened: Fashion designer Stephanie Thomas is changing the game for people who live with disabilities when it comes to specially curated looks. Thomas founded Cur8able to create content at what she calls the intersection of fashion and disability. In an interview with Refinery29, she explained it’s her own experiences being different that led her to promote inclusivity. She was born without one thumb and is missing three toes. Thomas creates clothing that adapts to the needs of people with disabilities. Part of her work also includes consulting with other brands to consider the disabled community when it comes to products and marketing.
