Canadian Fashion Designer, Izzy Camilleri offers a new and revolutionary line of adaptive clothing has been specifically designed for a "seated clientele." Her wesite notes: "Much time, research and new thinking has gone into each and every piece. The transformed cuts of the collection have been created for the sitting position of a disabled person, which not only follows the line of the body, but also eliminates fabric bulk from front, sides and back. The designs were created with both function and fashion in mind. These must-have modern basics are ready-to-wear and do not require adaptation. The collection is contemporary and current, yet timeless and classic. Other features make dressing easy for both wearer and assistant."
