BEL AIR, MD — When New York Fashion Week kicks off next week, one show will feature this season’s line of adaptive clothing designed specifically for people with disabilities. Among the models on the runway this year will be Faith Guilbault from Bel Air, who has been chosen to model adaptive clothing options for Kohl’s.

Guilbault has cerebral palsy and critical vision impairment, which makes walking a bit challenging for the 15-year-old, but that hasn’t stopped her from walking front-and-center at fashion shows for designer Tommy Hilfiger, the first big name to understand the need for adaptive clothing.
