Designing Woman with RA: An Interview with Louisa Summerfield
Last week, I spoke to a very interesting woman:
“Louisa Summerfield, 43, has turned what many see as adversity into an advantage. Diagnosed at age 9 with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, she started using a wheelchair in her early teens. Not finding what she was looking for in comfortable, fashionable clothes, she founded WheelieChix-Chic in 2007, offering clothes and lingerie for women who use wheelchairs and for able-bodied women. Based in the UK, she has participated in Abilities Expo which took her to several cities in the U.S. as part of Chloe Magazine’s Dare to Change the World Fashion Showcase. She returns with her Fall Collection in Abilities Expo’s 2010 show.”
