DISABILITY IS NOT A LIMIT, YOU ARE THE LIMIT

Comfort and utility proposals that speak of social inclusion, reuse and craftsmanship with garments with 1940s silhouettes, the years when things started to talk about disabilities in public, in which we find typical fabrics of English tailoring such as houndstooth, boiled wool, alpaca yarn and virgin wool work carried out by Tuscan artisans and elements of innovation and technology.

The key points are recycling and craftsmanship: discarded orthopedic corsets are transformed into unconventional accessories and hand-painted satirical illustrations embellish prints and fabrics, launching messages from strong inclusive impact.
A palette composed of dark and earthy tones recalls the colors of Infantile Paralysis Day, raising awareness among the viewer.
