Adaptive Costume Design for Disability Panel and Demonstration - FanExpo Portland 2025

Colleen Cosplay will be doing a deep dive into adaptive costume design, the art of creating costumes that are accommodating of disability. This panel will consider things such as wheelchair adaptive costumes, decorations for mobility aids, cosplay contests with a disability, and a look at adaptive fashion and its current presence in the fashion industry.
Feel free to leave any questions down in the comments!

I ran this panel Friday of FanExpo Portland (January 24th, 2025)
Thank you @FANEXPOHQ for bringing me on as a guest and
to Kyrascosplay for recording the panel for me and taking the pictures for the thumbnail.
Thank you to my husband for doing some audio engineering to make listening to this somewhat tolerable.
