Asos worked with Chloe Ball-Hopkins a BBC reporter, para-athlete and wheelchair user to create the line of outfits.
So over the last several months I have been working with @ASOS to create a fashionable, yet practical waterproof all in one! Not just for people like me in a chair but for anyone. It's about making fashion accessible! So what should be next?! https://t.co/1gzzkRlED9 pic.twitter.com/7yS57QEmpD

Great to see this sort of representation on the @ASOS website. Shopping is something most of us take for granted in terms of representation. Seeing disabled people in the media through campaigns, as actors, singers is so important as it challenges the stigma around disabilities. pic.twitter.com/asQAprWFxS

The wonderful @samrenke has blogged for @MetroUK about what @ASOS's decision to show models in wheelchairs means to her.
