The suit was designed for a young man with a knee impairment and a missing arm. As a rule, the fashion industry is not willing to deal with the issue of clothing for people with disabilities. People with disabilities tend to be positioned at the very margin of fashion events and trends. My goal is to stop the problem of clothing for marginalized groups being exclusively their own problem. Fashion is not about people, it is about their looks. This model, however, was made specially for Luko, and was inspired by his characteristic personality traits. This is necessary because my aim is to deal with the problems of the individuals that form the group, and not the group itself as a general point of reference. It is also about the lack of attention given to them in the frame of fashion events.
