Canadian entrepreneurs are disrupting the fashion industry by creating clothing and products for people with disabilities.

Getting dressed is something many people take for granted, but for people with a disability, fashion options are often limited. Most clothing is designed for people who can stand or walk, not for those in wheelchairs or who struggle to button a blouse.

Jovanovic said she wanted to do “something that would create an amazing social impact.” She was shocked to find that even research on fashion for people with disabilities was scarce. Braille in Fashion is still in its prototype stage and has three products so far: a white shirt with black beading, a jean jacket and a little black dress.

“I can see contrast so I know this is a light shirt, but is it white? Is it yellow? I am not sure, so for me to know this is white and I can wear it as a dress shirt with my pants when I am going for to dinner, I can sort of match what I need to do,” Vaile said. “It works great for me,” said Sertsis, who added that the bag offers her “safety, independence and freedom.”
