ASOS has worked in partnership with accessibility consultancy Tilting the Lens for its first adaptive edit, featuring 51 pieces spanning womenswear, menswear and curve.

The collection is designed to combine contemporary silhouettes and trend-led design with considered adaptive functionality.

Features such as magnetic fastenings and discreet hidden zips to tube access, concealed pockets and adjusted proportions for seated wearers have been carefully integrated into each design.

In research conducted by ASOS and Tilting the Lens, 86 per cent of participants cited comfort and fit as leading purchase motivators, with style-led occasion wear highlighted as a particular gap in the market.

Vanessa Spence, EVP brand & creative at ASOS, said: “ASOS has always been about helping customers discover the styles that feel like them.

“With this collection, we wanted to bring that same fashion-led approach to a category where disabled customers have historically had fewer choices.

“Across everything from occasion dresses and tailoring to everyday pieces, we’ve considered style and adaptive functionality together from the outset.”

For womenswear, occasion wear is a particular focus, with fluid, draped silhouettes designed to discreetly incorporate adaptive functionality.

Draped maxis, graphic and abstract prints, soft jersey dresses and sleek tailoring sit at the heart of the collection.

Highlights include a graphic-print mesh maxi with a concealed pocket beneath the front drape and tube access through the side seams. There is also an abstract-print sleeveless maxi with a hidden pocket for discreet device storage and a light olive tie-front dress, where draping and a fastening-free construction supports easier dressing.

In menswear, there are everyday pieces, including smart shirts, knitted polos, moisture-wicking breathe MAX T-shirts and adaptive accessories.

Sinéad Burke, founder and CEO of Tilting The Lens, added: “True inclusion in fashion starts with co-design.

“By working with Disabled people and embedding lived experience throughout the process, brands can create clothing that is not only more accessible, but more desirable, considered and relevant.

“This collection shows what can happen when functionality and fashion are developed together from the beginning.”

ASOS Adaptive launched globally on 24 September 2026, available exclusively on ASOS.com, with prices ranging from £32–£65.
