EmAble Intelligent Fashion

A company based in York, we aim to empower and provide comfort to those going through medical treatments and illness. Through our adaptive clothing, we aim to not only streamline medical procedures, but to also give the wearer control during uncertain times. Founded by Joanne Nicholson and her son Matthew Rhodes, EmAble is a representation of the often undiscussed struggles when facing a health issue. The loss of Joanne's daughter and Matthew's sister, Emily, both wanted to bring a spotlight to the side effects of illness that include a degradation of self-worth and confidence. Through their clothing, the founders of EmAble hope they can make a difference, and give some power and control back to their wearers.
