Morning, Fam…
So, yesterday,
I told you about the amazing Madeline
Stuart and what she’s doing for the crip community while teaching the
fashion community a new way of thinking.
Now, as you
Guys know I’ve got a
friend, Noe, who died of MD when I was 13. Yeah, we were young, but we liked to dress,
so you could find us at the mall whenever we had $$$$ to burn. We just made do with what the stores offered. That’s where I came up with turning all my
shirts upside down and putting my arms in first (the principle can be used on
button-ups too).
J, where you
going with this?
Joey sent me
this link knowing my past. The tie-in is
fashion designer, Mindy Menkowitz Scheier has a son, who has MD. Apparently, he likes to look good, but, like
most crips, finding clothes that work with our bodies is hard with our range of
motion, hence, Mrs. Menkowitz Scheier created Runway of Dreams.
Granted, I
haven’t tried her wears yet, but it’ll come.
It interests me when an able-body has experience in the crip world and
what they get from said experience and what comes out of it.
Be good to
each other.
