This fashionable prosthesis is everything for amputees who want to celebrate ALL of their identity

Because amputees shouldn’t have to be reduced to a single body part. And because you can do pretty incredible things with prostheses, like attach wings to prosthetic legs for skydiving.

IZ- fashion for wheelchair users

ok2befat:

“We believe wheelchair users should have access to the same styles and trends everyone else has, without ever having to compromise comfort.

Our clothing has signature cuts and styles to fit a seated body shape, falling and draping naturally without interfering with wheelchair mechanics. We use top-quality fabrics that look beautiful and feel luxurious.

Our Easy Zip Back option in coats is just one way that we’re making layering up and staying warm easier than ever. Discreet zippers in the back mean that Easy Zip Back coats separate into two individual pieces. 

Our signature ‘L-Shape’ means that IZ coats have the length you need over your lap while looking sleek and clean so you don’t sacrifice your style.”

The IZ Collection goes up to a 2X and has a wide range of masculine and feminine clothes.   

They look gorgeous, but be prepared. They are expensive.

This is so rad

For people with dwarfism, a fashion line of their own

New York Fashion Week is well underway. And while the designs that are gracing the runways in Bryant Park will trickle down to the rest of us throughout the year, most of us will never wear the actual clothes on display. Whether we can’t afford couture or whether we’re not quite what labels had in mind when they designated clothing lines ready-to-wear, Fashion Week is often more about fantasy than realistic aspirations. And the gap between dreams and reality can be particularly stark if you’re a person with dwarfism, a part of the market the already-myopic fashion industry ignores almost entirely.  —>Read on Washington Post

The future of prosthetics is incredibly stylish 

It used to be that prosthetic limbs and style had little to do with one another. Prosthetic limbs have typically had as much style as
orthopedic shoes, sheathed in beige fabric to cover the metal and
plastic parts within. They lacked originality, they lacked flair and they certainly didn’t reflect the wearer’s personality. Now, that couldn’t further from the truth.
