Overview

Design Without Limits addresses the design and production of fashionable and functional clothing for physically disabled men and women. It focuses on persons using wheelchairs, crutches and prostheses and on persons with limited mobility. Chase and Quinn attempt to educate the general public about individuals whose fashion needs have long been overlooked by the design community and even by the individuals themselves. They help the reader understand that people with disabilities can look and feel great and that style is available to everyone.
