The fashion industry has been slowly but surely becoming more and more inclusive to different body types, but now it could be taking an even bigger step:
Designing comfortable, and fashionable clothing for people with disabilities, thanks to Selma Blair and Christian Siriano.
This could be huge!
Anytime an actress is in need of a custom design, he's always on the frontline, ready to step in!
Unlike many designers that only cater to traditional runway sizes.
She nominated him as the ideal designer to take the reigns on her adaptive clothing collection idea.
How could he not be? It's a fabulous idea that could touch many lives, including the life of one of his close friends.
She revealed that finding comfortable and equally fashionable clothing has been a challenge.
"For those who want comfort, too. It can still be chic. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice style. Like, let’s get elastic waistbands to look a little bit better," she said.
"Because they’re uncomfortable, or don’t have the energy to dress up, don’t want to be seen."
With the ultimate goal being, to create an adaptive clothing line for people with and without disabilities.
This was her first public appearance since revealing her diagnosis.
When the news broke about her diagnosis, Christian wrote a very heartfelt caption about her on Instagram.
“Selma and I talked about it at dinner,” he told People.
Although he's given us a firm "maybe," there is now some very solidified hope for the collection to be brought to life.
She shared that she had been feeling certain symptoms for years, but that no doctors were taking her complaints seriously.
She shared that it has been difficult for her to walk, she's lost control over certain areas of her body, and her speech has been strongly affected.
Not to mention, it would be giving those living with chronic illnesses and physical disabilities access to fashionable clothing that works for them.
