Who are the innovative thinkers who are changing the face of fashion for people with disabilities? Some of them are featured in this video, including designer Christina Mallon of the innovative @openstylelab, model Jillian Mercado, and bodybuilder and model Nick Santonastasso. Though there are able-bodied people like Tommy Hilfiger working on the this important cause as well, we like this video because it is informative while centering the individuals with disabilities who are doing the heart of this work every day.
