IZ Adaptive Clothing

For many wheelchair users, the daily routine of getting dressed is one of those everyday things that can be a little more time consuming than for non-wheelchair users. Even with the help of a care taker, this can be a tedious task. Mainly because clothes really aren’t designed to be put on while sitting in a chair. Another problem is that clothing can ride up or is not made for a sitting position. Such as raincoats that can leave your lap open when sitting down. After working with a client who is a wheelchair user, Canadian fashion designer Izzy Camilleri worked on making a line of fashionable adaptive clothing. The result was IZ Adaptive Clothing.

The IZ Adaptive Clothing line offers tops, pants, dresses, suits, jackets, and more for both men and women. Each item is specially made to better contour a body in a seated position and designed to be low hassle to put on and take off. Pants for example have a short front rise and a high back rise. Some will also have long side zippers on the sides for added convenience. The bottom ends of raincoats are enlarged with flaps to cover the lap area. The tops and jackets will have an open back and optional zipper that separated the piece in two. Allowing a person in a wheelchair to put on one side at a time then zip the top. The image below shows the functional design of the tops.

The IZ Adaptive Clothing line looks sophisticated and professional. Izzy Camilleri has provided another much needed clothing option for wheelchair users. To see the more of the IZ Adaptive Clothing Line, visit their website at www.IZAdaptive.com .
