Disabled Mannequins

25 Feb 2014: Whilst looking for a blog article to write about I came across this great story on disabled mannequins.

A disability advocacy in Switzerland, called, Pro Infirmis, have celebrated disabled bodies by making mannequins to celebrate them in shop windows.

I love this concept, however, my only hope now is that they make clothes to fit the disabled body. I find that some clothes slip off my shoulder because of the way my body has formed.

The video on the page is so worth watching http://designtaxi.com/news/362526/A-Heartwarming-Campaign-That-Uses-Mannequins-Modeled-After-Disabled-People/interstitial.html/?advertiser=External&return_url=http%3A%2F%2Fdesigntaxi.com%2Fnews%2F362526%2FA-Heartwarming-Campaign-That-Uses-Mannequins-Modeled-After-Disabled-People%2F.

The end of the video asks, ‘Because who is perfect?'

Finally, the media may get the idea that there is no perfect, ever. I know that seeing these mannequins is a breath of fresh air.
