This is a powerful take. Fashion should be for everyone, regardless of ability, and seeing accessibility treated as essential infrastructure rather than an afterthought is long overdue. As for the power dynamics, that’s certainly debatable—it’ll be interesting to see if the industry actually follows through once the spectacle fades. I haven’t watched the movie yet, but this definitely adds a layer of depth to the conversation!

And Fashion Still Has a Body Problem. Hi all, Sharing my latest piece here. It starts with the movie, The Devil Wears Prada — both the 2006 film and the sequel — and ends up at the Met Gala 2026, where for the first time in 78 years, a wheelchair user attended fashion's biggest night. It's about power, ambition, who fashion thinks it's for, and why that question is long overdue. I'll be honest, I'm too fond of this world to be entirely objective, and I say that in the piece itself. But I think it's worth a read. https://medium.com/@shruti-pushkarna/the-devil-still-wears-prada-and-fashion-still-has-a-body-problem-6e955d1f03b7 Would genuinely love to know what you think.
