Just finished reading "Adaptive Apparel Design" and I have to say that it was amazing. If you want to step into the world of inclusive design, this will be a perfect start. Adaptive Apparel Design is a comprehensive and practical guide for anyone who wants to learn how to design clothing and soft goods for people with disabilities. The authors, Ellen McKinney and Rachel J. Eike are experts in the field of apparel design and product development, and they share their knowledge and experience clearly and engagingly. The book covers the entire apparel design process, from research and sketching to the first sample and final product. One of the best features of the book (which I enjoyed) is the client communication guide, which helps the designers establish rapport, understand the client's goals and challenges, conduct fittings and feedback sessions, and deliver the final product. The guide emphasizes the importance of respecting the client's autonomy, dignity, and privacy throughout the design process. Adaptive Apparel Design is a valuable resource for students, educators, and professionals who want to design apparel for individuals with disabilities. The book is easy to use, well-organized, and rich in information. It is not only a textbook but also a toolkit that can inspire and empower designers to create adaptive apparel that enhances the quality of life of their clients. #fashionindustry #fashiondesign #adaptivedesign #sustainablefashion You can download the book at:
