Manage episode 372322889 series 1532883
Izzy Camilleri is a big deal. As one of Canada's most celebrated fashion designers she has dressed A list celebrities from David Bowie to Meryl Streep. In 2005 her world and career changed when a woman living with paralysis asked Izzy to design some custom clothing that would work with her power wheelchair. This entry into adaptive clothing pivoted her career in a profound way.
In this episode:
- Izzy shares her meeting and designing for David Bowie
- Her career shift to a focus on adaptive clothing, the fashion industry's reaction (spoiler, it wasn't great) and how she stayed the course of her vision
- Insight into the size, perspective and future of adaptive fashion
- Her proprietary innovation and how it is revolutionizing the adaptive fashion market and beyond
