ONLINE FASHION RETAILERS are finally starting to address the issue of inclusivity.
We’ve starting to see more plus-size models, more models with stretch marks and cellulite and more diversity among castings for campaigns. However, there’s still a long way to go – particularly when it comes to those who are less able-bodied.
Chloe Ball-Hopkins, a BBC reporter, para-athlete and a wheelchair user, shared that she’s been working with ASOS to help make fashion accessible.
The result? This super snazzy waterproof jumpsuit.

Chloe tweeted: 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?!”

So far, people are LOVING it.
Diversity without tokenism. Always using POCs, plus sized models, models with disabilities etc. Well done @ASOS! pic.twitter.com/Cz5pXxHmDz
@ASOS leading the way! This is honestly the first time I have ever seen a disabled model in a ‘normal’ set up, rather than a special one off to gain attention. So happy my ASOS addiction is fuelling a forward thinking, caring business 🙌🏻 #equality#DisabilityRightspic.twitter.com/4bgTWzPrrV
I am getting emotional reading this.Cause I use to work in healthcare and I know how difficult it was for patients who wore clothes that weren't designed for their disability.

Our very own Sinead Burke retweeted the news on to her timeline. When it has her approval, you know it’s good.
