Fashion Moves, guest, artist Tiffanee Griffiths

Welcome to our 2nd show. Links to our guest, Tiffanee Griffiths and the companies we have mentioned today are at the end of this note. Over the years the Fashion Industry has successfully recognized the design needs of the Big / Tall and the Maternity customers. These well developed niche markets now account for Billions of dollars of sales each year. The Fashion needs of one group that is yet to be addressed is that of People with disabilities. Where do these athletes and others with disabilities find clothing designed for Fashion and to meet their needs? This is the goal of Fashion Moves. We will convene a conversation between Designers, Paralympic and Amateur Athletes, Business professionals, parents and kids. Through our Internet Radio programme we will provide design ideas and reveal the lifestyles of many active People with disabilities. Garment, Fashion and Textile Industry news and tidbits will lead at the top of the show. Drop in and have a listen. Let us know your thoughts about Fashion Moves and tell us about people you think we should interview.
