The Adaptive Fashion Handbook: DIY Solutions for Inclusive Style" by Kashvi Khurana is a groundbreaking guide that addresses the growing demand for adaptive clothing-garments tailored for people with physical, sensory, or mobility challenges. In a world where fashion often overlooks inclusivity, Kashvi bridges the gap by offering practical, do-it-yourself solutions that empower individuals to create functional, comfortable, and stylish clothing that caters to diverse needs.
Drawing inspiration from her Indian heritage and her experiences as the founder of KA.PABLE, a brand dedicated to adaptive clothing for Indian women, Kashvi's approach is rooted in tradition while embracing modern-day functionality. The handbook provides step-by-step guidance on adapting everyday garments, traditional Indian attire, and even footwear to suit the needs of individuals with unique fashion requirements.
The book is structured to take readers on a journey, from understanding adaptive fashion to executing detailed, hands-on clothing modifications. It begins with a thorough introduction to the concept of adaptive fashion and the importance of creating clothing that is inclusive of all body types and abilities. Kashvi emphasizes that adaptive fashion is not just about addressing limitations but about empowering people to express their individuality and sense of style.
In addition to clothing modifications, the book offers solutions for adaptive footwear, including methods for adjusting shoes with Velcro, elastic laces, and custom insoles. Kashvi also delves into inclusive design for all genders, advocating for gender-neutral adaptations that reflect personal style while accommodating diverse needs.
