She said it was a big moment to see models wear her clothes at The Inclusive Fashion Tour in Manchester and the feedback had been “hugely positive”.

“Seeing the models’ faces when they needed to try something on and making it easy for them to get in was the highlight for me,” she said.

“It’s very simple how to incorporate the adaptations needed and I think people end up feeling seen by the clothes, which I think is really powerful.

“It allowed me to meet a wonderful community of people with disabilities and learn about their struggles with fashion and how they want the industry to start including them.”

The community outreach company behind the tour reached out to Ms. Gauntlett to participate because they were “so impressed by the unapologetic use of color and fun, quirky designs.”

“Disabled fashion is often overlooked, and some existing adaptive designs can be very plain,” the company said.

“We love the concept that disabled people who like to have fun with their fashion can do so through May Marigold.”
