Tens of millions of adults and children in the U.S. live with a disability. Yet, when it comes to accessible fashion, maybe labels are still lagging behind. Which is where Juniper Unlimited comes in. The e-comm site and content hub is all about inclusivity, with dozens of brands tailor-made for easier access and function-meets-fashion design. Below, Kaycee Marshall, a designer at Yarrow (one of the labels available at Juniper Unlimited), explains why inclusive design is personal for her as a wheelchair user, and why it’s also a big part of the future of fashion.

“In 2016, I lost my Grandma Emily to Parkinson’s, and she was an amazing influence on my life. I will forever be thankful for all the days she was there to get me off the school bus, the many summers I got to spend with her, and how she would sit me up on the countertop so I could help her cook. She was such a constant throughout my childhood, at every school program, play, and dance recital. I miss her everyday, but I am proud to be able to honor her in my work with Yarrow. It was hard to watch my stylish grandma lose the ability to wear the clothing she wanted. Yarrow is designed with her needs in mind which makes getting dressed simpler. I hope that Yarrow can make another woman’s journey with Parkinson’s easier by restoring dignity and empowering her to go about her day in ease.”
