Fashion + Technology

Many elements of modern clothing—like buttons and back-zippers—that have not been updated for centuries are especially inconvenient for people with disabilities, the elderly and caregivers. When reimagining clothing that is great for both the general and marginalised population, every detail matters.

Assistive technologies are applied in Will & Well's apparel to meet diverse day-to-day needs by marrying fashion and function.

Adaptive Features:

Button

MagSnap

With MagSnap, we replaced traditional buttons with neodymium magnets.

Simply bring the magnetic buttons close together and they snap in place with effortless ease. Sealed in an airtight casing, the MagSnap buttons are waterproof and do not rust. They even breeze through airport security without any trouble.

MagSnap is as close as it gets to instant buttons on clothing. Simply snap and go; because we believe the next stage of buttoning should be this easy.

Say goodbye to unreachable back-zipper closures.

The zipper on the front from collar to hip ensures easier access while being seamlessly concealed. Forget about twisting and stretching to put on or take off a dress — let gravity do the work.
