The latest collection "Cairn: A mountain ahead"-
Fitting into a world not designed for them is a consistent concern for the neurodivergent community, and although this issues discussion may focus on the workplace, the education system. Other systems and subtle “norms” within our culture, such as the lack of sensory aware accessible stylish clothing, have a knock-on effect to the quality of daily life. With specific attention to ADHD individuals the collections aim is to provide an aid and tool against the constant stimulation of the world. This will be achieved through three angles.
1- Not adding to the struggle, through sensory sensitively informed choices.
2-Utilising meditative Play through textile placement to aid under stimulation.
3- Prioritising the user experience and garment functionality, to limit frustrations.
