Nelson will don designs from the everyBODY collection on her runaway stroll -- in some cases switching outfits in a matter of seconds
But selling the idea of adaptive clothing is a still challenge when there’s little economic benefit to manufacturing clothes for a seemingly niche market, Nelson said. It’s reinforced by the tradition of able-bodied people as the mass-market design standard — or catalog size, as it’s called, which use statistical averages to estimate different body types.
“We’re not trying to take over a market and make ourselves rich,” said Rachel Kaplin, program manager at Guided by Humanity. “We’re trying to fill a need for our community. Not medical treatment, but wellness and mental health.” “As a kid I had to wear the leg braces that had shoes attached, and they looked like antique baby shoes. It wasn’t until middle school that they designed a leg brace that I could wear,” Nelson said through tears inside Guided by Humanity last month. “My first pair of real shoes were Reeboks.”
“I don’t go anywhere without wearing these,” said Roy, who has cerebral palsy, as she twiddled her dangly earrings. “They’re part of who I am. My mom basically bred into me that I should always look presentable and not dress inappropriately.” She stopped to laugh. “Which wasn’t always the case.”
