Abstract
Inclusive fashion design in the fashion design degree program at SENAC—Pernambuco (PE), Brazil college is the core module for interdisciplinary practice for college students. Based on the principles of ergonomics, modeling, aesthetics, design, materials and fabrics, students work on projects that culminates in inclusive clothing design. The discipline of study in fashion design helps achieving critical objectives such as intellectual expansion and autonomy, as key components for social and professional integration. The program also contributes to the development of skills, values, knowledge components and competency based practice. This paper aims to describe the methodology used in the fashion design degree for development of garments by students for people with disabilities, with special emphasis on ergonomics for people with disabilities.
