Disarmed: How Christina Mallon Makes the Fashion Industry Work for Her

After developing a motor neuron disease that paralyzed her arms, Christina Mallon began to adapt the way she approached life and got things done. With her newfound disability, she felt pressure from people’s preconceived notions that her life was “over” or lacked value. Committed to dismantling those false assumptions, she focused on changing the image of disability through fashion.

Christina has become a leader in accessible fashion, helping brands like Tommy Hilfiger create adaptive clothing lines and working with organizations to show disabled people how they can make use of fashion and beauty products. Her demonstration videos show disabled people what is possible and how to do it, even if you don’t have use of your arms.
