Designed for Dignity: Help Shape the Future of Fashion for those you love

Here at Carents, we know that clothing is about so much more than what someone wears. It’s about identity, confidence, comfort – and dignity.

We’re working with the fashion students on a new initiative called Designed for Dignity to explore how fashion can better serve those with health conditions or care needs. But to make real change, we need your help.

If you’ve ever found it hard to find practical, stylish clothing for your parent or loved one, or noticed how clothes can affect their self-esteem or independence, we’d love to hear your views.

This short survey will take just a few moments, and your insights will help us shape the conversation around adaptive fashion – and push for real change from the high street.

Age or health challenges shouldn’t get in the way of finding clothing that feels good and fits well – whether that’s stylish outerwear, comfortable footwear or easy-to-manage underwear. Because no one should have to choose between dignity and design.
