Despite this lack of coverage, much work has taken place over the centuries to enable people who live with disability to participate in fashionable culture. This book tells that story via perspectives of notable historical figures, events and movements, and continues the discourse with a look at some of the contemporary developments in clothing and fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Intersection of Fashion and Disability\u003c\/i\u003e takes the long view, from early attempts to conceal 'unsightly' bodies of royalty and nobility via creative innovation through growing contemporary awareness of inclusive fashion and how future work can be driven by technology and cultural acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKate Annett-Hitchcock i\u003c\/b\u003es a Professor in the Wilson College of Textiles at North Carolina State University, USA.
