thisisKIN is a contemporary fashion label that aspires to redefine how disabilities are represented in fashion. This is done through empathetic design frameworks that merge materiality and aesthetics, that provide comfort, and altering how individuals perceive themselves in their environment.

The label recognises that disability does not always imply a visible mobility aid, and that invisible disabilities that hinder one’s movements, senses, or activities exist in our realities. These are often viewed with skepticism or stigma, particularly within conservative Southeast Asian communities.

By creating more inclusive designs that embody unseen lived experiences, thisisKIN hopes to inspire more marginal approaches that will pave the way to a more innovative and empathetic future in fashion.
