Talking about a person in a wheelchair likely isn’t the first thing people think of when discussing fashion shows and models on the runway.
Jennifer will change all of this April 15 when she is among the more than 100 models who will strut their stuff at 25th annual Threads Fashion Show on the Central Michigan University campus in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
Threads is the student-produced fashion show that features the work of aspiring student fashion designers, and their work is dislpayed by a line-up of fashion models. This includes Jennifer and several others who will model custom-designed accessible fashion created for the show.
Join us for this episode where we have an engaging conversation with Ian Mull, the Threads advisor and CMU Fashion Merchandising and Design faculty member. Hear what he says is central to the longevity of Threads, the importance of inclusion in fashion, why accessible fashion deserves a spot on the runway, and what trends are influencing fashion in 2023.
