Over 6 weeks, we will dive deep into accessible footwear. Participating fellows will be invited to work in a hands-on, cross-disciplinary environment, collaborating with the disability community to explore challenges and design style-led adaptive footwear solutions. The fellowship will focus on functionality, comfort, and style. Throughout this workshop, you will be able to work with experts in inclusive design and gain access to Open Style Lab’s extensive database of over 10 years of learning in inclusive design and fashion.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join Open Style Lab’s award-winning summer program that equips makers and designers with the skills to design with people with disabilities and problem-solve with style and beauty for a more inclusive world.

It is a chance to rethink design norms, innovate for better design for all, and meet an amazing collective of creatives who design with soul, purpose, joy, and empowerment. Let’s challenge perceptions of human ability and the body through design and technology!
