About Our Founder

Michelle Chung is a content creator who authors books related to fashion and sewing. After studying fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, she started researching fashion inclusivity in 2021 and has decoded it into five main sectors: disability, size, gender, race, and culture. In June 2022, she founded We The Future of Fashion, a fashion inclusivity consulting firm. In October 2023, she released All About Adaptive: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Adaptive Clothing, the first-ever comprehensive, encyclopedic resource on adaptive fashion. The book categorizes the adaptive fashion available on the market today into four main accommodation types: sensory, access, mobility, and fit. All About Adaptive includes visuals provided by 11 adaptive clothing brands, including but not limited to MagnaReady, IZ Adaptive, Slick Chicks, and BILLY Footwear. The book also covers adjacent topics such as the curb-cut effect, gross versus fine motor skills, and overstimulation in the context of wearing clothes.

Michelle has hosted events and seminars on fashion inclusivity and adaptive fashion in Los Angeles and New York to educate industry professionals and students. In addition, she has guest lectured at the Fashion Institute of Technology in the course FD302: Designing for Innovation, educating students on the contents of All About Adaptive. She has also spoken about fashion inclusivity and sustainability on panels at universities such as the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Michelle was featured in WGSN’s report in May 2024, naming her as an influence in the space of inclusive fashion for disabled individuals and those looking for easy dressing and access. In 2024, she and her co-founder were awarded the PETE Prize for their business, Odera. However, she has since moved on from the venture.

Toward the end of 2024, she pivoted to making fashion education more accessible, focusing on creating educational sewing content after her younger brother, Marco, dropped out of his fashion classes due to extremely condescending professors. Now, she is dedicated to creating a welcoming and inviting learning space where anyone can develop their sewing skills with confidence.
