晨光|创世代:本地设计师开创品牌 专为体障者设计服装 | Mediacorp

穿衣服原来也是一门技术。我们习以为常的穿衣和脱衣,对体障人士或是年长者来说,有时却是很大的挑战。

25岁的林施恩学习服装设计,却觉得自己和时尚格格不入。直到2015年,一位医生找她设计病服,才开启她对特殊服装的兴趣,因而创办了自己的公司Will & Well。

林施恩主要为特殊群体设计和修改衣服,当中包括体障和年长者等。她在设计上注入了平日容易被人们忽略的细节,如磁铁纽扣、前开式长裤、前方拉链等,让行动不便者在穿衣换衣时更加轻易和方便。

设计特殊服装在本地属冷门专业,林施恩在2018年投入了约1万元成立公司。这两年,她一边打理自己的生意,一边在批发公司工作。生意仅靠网络宣传,至今服务了约100名顾客。她的最终目标是要让产品打入东南亚市场。
