00:00It's a huge honour to be shown at London Fashion Week, especially for an on-schedule show.
00:07I think fashion is very much one-dimensional in as much as it's for people that walk,
00:14and fashion is designed to look pretty on a hanger,
00:18whereas adapted fashion doesn't look pretty on a hanger,
00:22but it makes us feel like we're humans and not patients.
00:26So just to have the opportunity to be as inclusive as possible,
00:33to bring another community into knowing what they're wearing
00:37and having that independence and freedom is a big deal.
00:43It's a big deal and a huge honour.
