Abstract [en]

The aim of this work is to question ableism by exploring the expressional possibilities in reforming garments for the seated body in active wheelchair use. The fashion scene could be defined as normative, idealistic and excluding, but could it originate from the lack of diversity and knowledge in the people behind the scene? Fashion is a subject in constant developement and this work aims to push the boundaries and reach for the constructional and expressional possibilities in designing for a seated body in active wheelchair use based on self-lived experience . Additionally to the constructional approach, raising awearness and knowledge about the issues of ableism is a topic if importance in the matter. The combination of theese aspects points towards a proposal to how fashion could press social issues and create space for discussion and development. Not only in how it’s made, but how it’s percieved.
