Cornish fashion graduate says ‘all disabled bodies are beautiful’

Tang said having adaptive clothing represented on the runway but also in mainstream life was important.

“I think with some of my conditions it can make dressing and undressing quite difficult and things like little buttons and getting things over my shoulders sometimes I really struggle with.

“Adaptive clothing is really, really helpful in that sort of sense where there might be little pull tabs to help you put things on, or velcro and magnets that make things a bit easier.

“I don’t want to compromise on style for adaptability and things that make my life a little bit easier, I still want to really have fun with my style and fashion.”

Tang said she hoped future designers would create lines for disabled people “with disabled people”.

She said: “You can’t really have something for someone without their input and their experience – that feedback is so so important.

“I think seeing something that reflects such a like a wider range of personal styles as well as adaptability would be something really cool.”
