Carol Taylor

I am the World’s first quadriplegic designer designing inclusive fashion. I am also an artist, advocate and lawyer, wife and mum. In August 2019 I placed my art work on Fabric and designed a small collection of accessible pieces for exhibition at a gallery in Brisbane. Thereafter I was invited to design a collection of 9 pieces to open an event for the Mercedes Benz Fashion festival Brisbane. I had a total of 12 weeks and all whilst running my own law practice and juggling my role as wife and mum. I have received an overwhelmingly positive response from around the world and much encouragement to launch my own label. My emphasis is on inclusive fashion, many of my designs can be worn by able-bodied as well as persons with disability. I believe people with disability have been left out of the fashion conversation and I want to change that. I like to say “I may be on wheels, but my fashion moves me forward”
