From Expensive Tailors to Your Screen – Fashion That Finally Fits

Why I started WearAble by Lega

As a person with a disability, I’ve spent most of my life problem-solving—not just around mobility, but around something as basic as getting dressed.

Throughout my career—whether as a Paralympic swimmer, entrepreneur, or Member of the European Parliament—I needed to look presentable and professional. But regular clothing simply didn’t fit. Not because of personal style or preference, but because I, like so many others, have a unique body that standard clothing was never designed for.

So I did what I had to do: I turned to very expensive tailors. It was the only way I could get clothes that truly fit me—clothes that didn’t pinch, bunch, or hang in the wrong places because I use a wheelchair or have an unusual posture. It worked, but it wasn’t fair. And it certainly wasn’t accessible for most people.

That’s what led me to create WearAble by Lega.

WearAble is not just another clothing brand. It’s a global online platform where anyone with a disability or unique body shape can access tailor-made fashion directly from their computer or phone. Whether you’re seated all day, short-statured, have scoliosis, or simply don’t fit standard sizing, you deserve to wear clothes that actually fit you.

This is not simply adaptive clothing.

This is real fashion. Designed with dignity. Built for confidence. Tailored for you.

I created WearAble so no one else would have to go through what I went through just to feel comfortable and seen. And I’d love to hear your thoughts—either here or on our Facebook page. Your feedback matters.

Let’s change fashion. For real this time.
