Physical disability and the fashion world are often positioned at odds with each other. It’s very unusual to see people with disabilities in fashion photography, unless it’s as a stunt. When people with physical disabilities are featured on fashion runways, it’s often as a charity project or Very Special Designer Episode, not something where the disabled models stand on equal footing. Disabled models become freakshows to stare at, or figures of tragedy and inspiration for the audience, but what they aren’t is serious models.
