The relevance of adaptive mode

With an estimated 16 million people with disabilities in Great Britain, the demand for adaptive clothing is enormous. According to a study by Primark, 59 % of people with disabilities would be willing to buy more adaptive clothing if they were available in regular shops. The challenge underpins that 62 % of the respondents have difficulty finding suitable clothing. There is therefore a relevant market that is still largely unexplored, and companies like Primark are trying to counteract this deficiency. Including fashion, in recent years, the fashion industry has become an important topic, as well as Sonntagsblatt confirmed

Adaptive fashion is not only an economic potential, but also a necessary answer to the needs of people with disabilities. The collections must be comfortable, functional and at the same time fashionable. Visual designers such as Anna "Fee" Franconia, who dealt intensively with inclusive fashion, stand out for the growing movement in this area. Your collection attaches particular importance to feminine and advantageous designs for women in a wheelchair and shows that inclusive design can not only be functional, but also aesthetically appealing.

sustainability and future prospects

Primark not only pursues the goal of making adaptive fashion more accessible, but has also implemented a strategy to improve sustainability in production. For example, the company wants to make all clothing in a recyclable manner by 2027 and only produce from recycled or sustainably procured materials by 2030. Nevertheless, there is criticism of Primark's business models, in particular with regard to their suppliers and the associated working conditions. The challenges in the fashion industry are directly related to the increasing need for more transparency and ethical production.

The development of adaptive fashion shows promising approaches for more inclusion and diversity in fashion. It remains to be seen how companies continue to respond to the needs of this target group and what progress is made in the area of ​​sustainability. The partnership between Primark and Victoria Jenkins could be a significant step into an inclusive fashion future.
