Tommy Hilfiger is expanding its innovative disability-friendly clothing initiative by unveiling Tommy Adaptive, a new line that includes a variety of unique and stylish pieces.

Tommy Hilfiger is a high-end fashionable clothing line that many people like. Even though a lot of people enjoy wearing it, some people couldn’t. What I mean by that is people with certain disabilities couldn’t wear it because of the way they were made. So in 2016, Tommy Hilfiger partnered with Runway of Dreams, a nonprofit founded by Mindy Scheier, a mother whose child has muscular dystrophy, to create a clothing line more inclusive to children with disabilities. Then last year Tommy decided to come out with an adult collection as well.
It’s still the same Tommy Hilfiger everyone loves just with a few … adjustments. The clothing line has things like one-handed zippers, adjustable hems, and magnetic buttons just to name a couple. “Tommy Adaptive’ mission is to be inclusive and empower people of all abilities to express themselves through fashion.” Says the company. With Tommy adaptive, any and everyone can express themselves freely through fashion. In fact Tommy adaptive started out as just for kids but in the next year made it available for teenagers and adults. Now the company strives to provide all people all people with disabilities with even more clothing options.
The campaign to showcase the Adaptive clothing includes several prominent figures in the disability community, such as 18-year-old autistic chef Jeremiah Josey; Chelsie Hill, a dancer who used a wheelchair according to Elle, Tommy Hilfiger heavily considered feedback from the disability community when creating the new line, and was sure to maIn the past, other companies like Target which launched the Cat & Jack children’s clothing line for children with disabilities in 2017 and has since expanded its Universal Thread women’s line to be more disability-friendly are working to make the fashion industry more inclusive.

“Inclusivity and the democratization of fashion have always been at the core of our brand’s DNA,” Tommy Hilfiger said on the company’s website. “Tommy Adaptive continues to build on that vision, empowering people to express themselves through fashion.” People with disabilities can trust that these real brands’ invasions into the versatile dress domain focus towards a more inclusive future.
I feel like Tommy adaptive was a great idea. Now people who have disabilities can feel like they fit in now that they can wear what other people are wearing.
