Galleries, John Niland Building, UNSW Sydney

Description
The DIIU, DIASOC and UNSW School of Design’s Textiles & Fashion Program are bringing together an interdisciplinary conversation exploring inclusive fashion, adaptive design, and wearable innovation.
Drawing on disability-inclusive research and co-design approaches, the discussion will explore how fashion and wearable technologies can challenge traditional ideas about who clothing is designed for and how thoughtful, creative design can make everyday experiences more inclusive.
