SINGAPORE - She went to study fashion at the Parsons School of Design in New York City to learn to design stylish clothes. But in her third year, Ms Claudia Poh came across her professor’s friend, who had lost the use of both her arms to paralysis.
In a fashion show on Friday, stroke survivors modelled outfits from Ms Poh’s label Werable, which they can put on easily to look good at work, and even weddings. Mr Ong said S3 has grown over the years into a natural extension of the acute care system, to help stroke survivors better reintegrate into their community after discharge from hospital. It has gone from supporting 24 people in 2015 to more than 730 in 2023.– that’s when more than 21 per cent of our population will be aged 65 and above,” said Mr Ong.
One stroke survivor who modelled a piece from Werable, Madam Catherine Lee, said: “Buttons and zips are a challenge for me now, so I go for simple clothes without them, something that I can wear over my head, like shift dresses or loose blouses or T-shirts with tights.” Werable also works with Paralympic athletes such as swimmer Yip Pin Xiu to design and model for its clothing line, which it sells on its online shop.
