Schön! presents | a seated perspective

Prompted by the desire to expand the corporeal limits of conventional fashion, designer Simeon Morris conceived designs for people who use wheelchairs, with an aim to include them within the mainstream conversation. With the aim to design better-fitting, comfortable yet fashionable clothing, Simeon teamed up with Emil Pabon as he photographed the research project. In the film, Misha – a wheelchair user – guides us through what Emil hopes is an honest way of approaching consumers, seated or not, as people.
