Grand Prix Inclusive Design 2022 Award winner
___
It is Louise Linderoth who wins the Grand Prix Inclusive Design 2022.
“For the past six years, my work as a fashion designer has involved designing with a disabled body in mind, at every stage of the process, from inspiration to presentation to creation.
When clothing is created for a disabled body, and more specifically in this case, for a body sitting in an active wheelchair, there are functional, practical and social variables to consider. Having suffered a spinal cord injury for the past 15 years, I continue my research every day, I don’t even have a choice, but I enjoy every experience.”
