Louise's degree work Who Chairs (Don’t Worry I’ll Bring a Ramp) aims to push the boundaries and reach for the constructional and expressional possibilities in designing for a seated body in active wheelchair use based on self-lived experience. In addition to the constructional approach, raising awareness and knowledge about the issues of ableism is a topic of importance. The combination of these aspects points toward a proposal for how fashion could press social issues and create space for discussion and development. Not only in how it’s made but how it’s perceived.
