The braille on this new dress design features 2,654 individual braille beads that are all applied by hand. Together, these beads tell an incredible story that describes the color blue from the perspective of several women from the blind and visually impaired community. Their emotions, experiences, and memories are embodied in the creation of this piece and paint a picture of the many meanings behind the color blue, despite not seeing its visual beauty. The goal of this piece is to showcase how blindness is a spectrum and fashion is felt, not seen. Designed to be enjoyed by all audiences, the blue dress is bold, covered in braille, and makes a fashion statement you can feel. It shares positive messages about disability inclusion, finding yourself, and taking pride in who you are and who you are becoming. This dress is not just a conversation starter, but a statement. Diversity includes disability, and it's time our fashion industry does too.
