Primark has collaborated with adaptive fashion designer and disability advocate Victoria Jenkins to create this game-changing collection. The focus is on making everyday dressing simpler and more inclusive, with thoughtful features like magnetic zippers, waist loops, and discreet openings for medical needs such as stomas or catheters. There are even options specifically designed for seated individuals—just like me.
The 49-piece collection feels like a functional, gender-neutral capsule wardrobe, offering everything from jackets to undies, trackies to formal wear—and yes, even cozy PJs, and a personal fave of mine JEANS! The fabrics are soft, comfortable, and have a high-quality feel.
It’s clear that accessibility has been at the heart of every decision in this range.
The line launches on the 28th January 2024
