JCPenney launches Jamey Perry collection for women sizes XS-XXL

Jamey Perry's collection for JCPenney was launched at the Runway of Dreams’ Fashion Revolution show during New York Fashion Week. The collection features 18 styles, including blouses and dress slacks, designed to accommodate women’s sizes XS-XXL, with prices ranging from $44 to $99. Perry expressed that creating this collection was a dream come true, emphasizing the importance of fashion for women in wheelchairs who want to look and feel great. Chris Phillips, JCPenney’s senior vice president, highlighted the company's commitment to inclusivity and adaptive fashion, which has been a focus since they introduced the Thereabouts brand for disabled children in 2021. The company actively sought input from the disability community to ensure that the clothing meets their needs, demonstrating a dedication to understanding the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. The collection incorporates practical features, such as loops in pants’ waistbands, to facilitate ease of dressing for wheelchair users. Phillips noted that the overarching goal is to create comfortable clothing tailored to the needs of individuals with disabilities. This collaboration with Perry aligns with JCPenney’s values and aims to enhance the shopping experience for all customers. As the adaptive fashion industry continues to evolve, JCPenney remains committed to developing products that serve diverse communities. The partnership with Perry not only brings a new level of fashion but also reinforces the importance of accessibility in clothing design, ensuring that all women can enjoy stylish and functional apparel.
