She looks so uncomfortable and cold, Lady Natasha Fines thought as she looked at her Aunt Emma while she received her chemotherapy treatment during her six-year battle with breast cancer. I wish there were something I could do to help.
Going home that night, Lady Natasha thought about the way Emma’s clothes had been stretched out due to the ports for her treatments. She used to dress so stylishly, Lady Natasha thought as tears welled in her eyes.
I’ve got it! She thought as inspiration struck. I can create an adaptive clothing line!
At the time, Lady Natasha worked as a buyer for a fashion retailer, so she pitched the idea to her team. “We need an adaptive clothing category with pieces for people with disabilities or illnesses made with magnetic closures, adjustable hems and zipper openings for easy access to ports,” she said as she showed her presentation.
“Unfortunately, this isn’t our customer right now,” her team said, and her heart sank. I am not going to give up now, Lady Natasha thought.
