Rachel Shugg is an Australian research and interdisciplinary fashion designer. Examining the relationship between art and fashion, her work stems from a desire to disrupt and change the current way the fashion industry operates, particularly its current approach to designing for disability and inclusivity. Based on the belief that fashion is not only a form of artistic expression but can be a platform for social change, her practice incorporates a passion for disability advocacy, fashion and sustainability that examines the relationship between the self, the body and the social world to further innovative accessible design and cross-disciplinary practise. Rachel believes strongly that fashion can and must exist in harmony with the environment and the current climate. Rachel completed her Honours in Fashion (Design) at RMIT in 2021.
