¿Tienes una camiseta favorita o un par de jeans que te transforman y te hacen sentir seguro? ¿Te hace sentir tú misma? Eso es porque lo que usas puede afectar tu estado de ánimo, tu salud y tu autoestima, dice la diseñadora de modas Mindy Scheier. Inspirada por su hijo, que nació con un trastorno degenerativo que le dificulta vestirse a sí mismo o usar ropa con botones o cremalleras, Scheier se propuso hacer ropa que funcione para todos, incluidos los discapacitados. Obtenga más información acerca de cómo ella ha hecho la historia de la moda al producir la primera línea de ropa adaptable del mundo.

About TED Institute

Every year, TED works with a group of select companies and foundations to identify internal ideators, inventors, connectors, and creators. Drawing on the same rigorous regimen that has prepared speakers for the TED main stage, TED Institute works closely with each partner, overseeing curation and providing intensive one-on-one talk development to sharpen and fine tune ideas. The culmination is an event produced, recorded, and hosted by TED, generating a growing library of valuable TED Talks that can spur innovation and transform organizations.
