Fashion For The Handicapped

Kudos to designer Gwendolyn Huskens for bringing fashion to the handicapped. A student at the Design academy at Eindhoven, in the department of man and identity, this zealous artist has created a range of clever fashion especially for the deformed.

Huskens’s Medic Esthetic shoes were showased at the graduation show. Taking the comfort of the handicapped in mind she has re-designed popular fashion in current times. So, now everyone can keep that confident step forward.

The special cream and skin-toned footwear for women aim to remove the misbeliefs associated with physical deformities. Medical materials and supplies like plaster bandages, steel and band-aids ensure that comfort and safety come with style. The result is something to look out for, a line of oddly-elegant and fuctional shoes.

Now this is what we truly call fashion for a cause!

What does a thinker say about herself! A two year stint with journalism made me fall in love with writing and critiquing was the job that has continued to stay on. I am on a career break to explore Japan with plans for a definite return. Follow on for a journey that stimulates our minds to ask more questions.

    The shoes on the right are a rip-off. Marloes ten Bhomer invented a leather mache technique back in 2003! http://www.lucymackintosh.ch/archives.php?id=47&image_id=626
