No longer invisible: Embracing mobility aids and prosthesis as a part of fashion

Prosthesis and other mobility aids have long been viewed as more of a “function-over-fashion” piece – an item that is needed to help disabled individuals in their everyday life rather than something that can be used to express oneself. These pieces are designed with the intention of not drawing attention to them, that disability is something to be kept invisible as not to inconvenience able-bodied people.

In 2021, the fashion world was greeted with a collaborative project between Chinese disabled influencer Xiao Yang and Chinese based accessories brand YVMIN, who had created a series of three prosthesis shells for Yang’s prosthetic leg. YVMIN’s aesthetic sensibilities are striking, making use of the “liquid metal” aesthetic to create unique and interesting pieces, often in a distinctive shining chrome look. In an interview with Vogue, Xiaoyu Zhang and Min Li – the design team behind YVMIN, described the project as a concept that would turn prosthesis into wearable art, Zhang stating that “We think it is only natural to decorate any part of our body, prosthetic as well.”

“This project tells everyone that wearing a prosthesis is a fact that cannot be changed—but wearing a prosthesis that looks gorgeous is also achievable.” – Xiao Yang

Yang’s philosophy in regards to the use of prosthesis echoes the same sentiment many people in the disabled community have been saying for a number of years. In recent years, people have been embracing extending their own personal style into their mobility aids, taking the lead in decorating wheelchairs and canes to better fit their own style. Companies have also started to appear to offer stylish mobility aids, such as NeoWalk and their brightly coloured canes and Etsy sellers such as India-based ShivSilverJewels designing gorgeous ring splints for those with EDS and arthritis. With about 18% of the Australian population having some form of disability, we can hopefully look forward to seeing more brands and companies beginning to embrace aesthetic appeal in the creation of mobility aids for the community.
