| The inspiration & talent behind (originally) 'Julz Scarves' is Julian Reddish, who at age 17 survived a near fatal stroke and car accident and spent the next 7 months recovering in rehabilitation from brain injuries. During this time he demonstrated his determination and enthusiasm for life which led him to overcome obstacle after obstacle. His interest in fashion and design rekindled once back at home and he studied graphic design and began to use his design skills to create unique scarves, screen-printed t-shirts and dresses - just perfect for Xmas!

| Steph was driving home from Vegas and dozed off behind the wheel, launching off an over pass flipping her car. She immediately became a C5-7 quadriplegic. When she was in the hospital an occupational therapist came in, knowing that her passion was always beauty, she brought in makeup brushes and helped her figure out a way for her to do her own makeup. |
| Beauty Ability shares what myself and others have discovered from this crazy disabled journey. I hope my site helps inspire the newly injured and unchallenged thinkers that despite a having disability, we all can still be attractive beings inside and out. |

| 3E Love is a social entrepreneurial experiment to change the perception of disability to promote a social model of disability. The company's trademarked Symbol of Acceptance (wheelchair heart logo) is the drive behind it's social mission to provide the tools for others to embrace diversity, educate society, and empower each other to love life. What was once just a small Chicago disability pride clothing brand is now an international movement of acceptance. People with disabilities are everywhere, and thousands of t-shirts and other items later, so is the 3E Love message! |

| Fashionable, adaptable clothing can be really hard to find, that's why we started Alter UR Ego. Our adaptable jeans line is just the first of many designs we're working on to combine both fashion & function for people in wheelchairs. We believe people in wheelchairs should look good and feel good too. And we're working hard to make that happen. |

| Bicycles and wheelchairs have many things in common where parts and accessories can even be interchangeable. Some types of bicycle storage wouldn’t work well with wheelchairs but these stylish leather bags just might. Made by Detroit Cargo of Warren, Michigan, these bicycle bags could also function as wheelchair bags. |
| Fashion Freaks is about fashion, clothing and vanity
from a seated perspective.
We who use wheelchairs know how hard it is to find good looking and well fitted clothes. Skirts are too short at the back. Pants are too tight in the crotch. The jacket travels forward with every move until the shoulder pads form extra boobs. It is not funny!And then there are the few selling adapted clothes. A couple of them actually have clothes that look okay - if the style fits you and you can afford them.It is not as complicated as you think to sew yourself. And when you have your ?own" pattern you can create any combination or variation you want.

| After New York's Fashion Week, you won't have to rely on your imagination. You can see firsthand that a wheelchair can be more than an empowering mobility aid, but also a bold fashion statement. Discovery Through Design, a not-for-profit organization founded by four remarkable women, has tapped a host of top designers to participate in its new fashion event, the Rolling with Style Gala, set for Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2007 at Cipriani at 42nd Street during New York's couture Fashion Week. |
| "Although a motorcycle accident briefly sidelined Marcus Culvert, he's made a strong comeback as entrepreneur - with his own clothing line-, a musician and drag racer. Perhaps there is nothing in a healthy person's life that could prepare him or her for an adulthood wracked by intense pain and heart-wrenching disability. Religious faith can help. Loving parents, family, and friends can cushion such a blow. But when all is said and done, a young man who lives hard and fast until he loses the use of his legs is left to figure out how to greet each day and get the most out of it". |
