ASOS Is Getting Lots Of Praise For This Multicoloured Jumpsuit Designed For Wheelchair Users
It's gorgeous!
ASOS are taking strides to become a more inclusive, sustainable and cruelty-free brand in recent times.
Now, the fashion brand has designed a cool, waterproof jumpsuit for wheelchair users.
Chloe Ball-Hopkins, a BBC reporter, Great British Paralympic athlete and a wheelchair user, shared that she’s been working with ASOS to help make fashion accessible.
Chloe tweeted about the new collaboration at the launch event.
So over the last several months I have been working with @ASOS to create a fashionable, yet practical waterproof all in one! Not just for people like me in a chair but for anyone. It's about making fashion accessible! So what should be next?! https://t.co/1gzzkRlED9 pic.twitter.com/7yS57QEmpD

Great to see this sort of representation on the @ASOS website. Shopping is something most of us take for granted in terms of representation. Seeing disabled people in the media through campaigns, as actors, singers is so important as it challenges the stigma around disabilities. pic.twitter.com/asQAprWFxS

Actress Jameela Jamil also got in on the congratulations.
Wow! Thank you @jameelajamil … glad you like our work! Maybe I should put my phone on silent before even more excitement appears on Twitter and I can't sleep 😂 pic.twitter.com/Ry05NGb9VR
