Why is fashion so afraid of disabled models?

7 Jul

Despite representing 24 per cent of the population, models with visible disabilities feature in 0.02 per cent of fashion campaigns For all its overtures to self-expression, the style industry is probably less involved in beauty, and more involved in shielding itself from whatever it sees as ugly.

The Los Angeles-based designer Rosetta Getty recently revealed a partnership with the Belmond Group to develop a hotel on Mexico’s Pacific Coast that is anticipated to open in 2025.
