London Fashion Week introduced an innovative initiative by Hair & Care, providing an immersive experience for visually impaired guests. Through tactile interactions with runway pieces and detailed audio descriptions, designers like Chet Lo and Roksanda contributed to redefining how fashion can be appreciated. Attendees, including the UK's first blind black barrister, experienced fashion in a unique way that combined touch and sound, allowing a deeper understanding of garments. This approach not only enhances accessibility in the fashion industry but also opens the door for broader participation from those with visual impairments.
This year, non-profit organisation Hair & Care created an "immersive tactile experience", allowing guests to touch runway pieces and hear detailed audio descriptions.
I get to feel the texture, hear the description, and imagine how the written description would capture what I'm sensing.
