Cultural Recognition

Hair & Care strives to bring about systemic change for blind and low vision people, and has now become part of wider cultural conversations around fashion, design, disability and accessibility. We are proud that our work and commitment to accessibility has been recognised by leading cultural organisations including London’s V&A, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Vogue Business Top 100 Innovators List – bringing these conversations to new and varied audiences.

Hair & Care was recognised in the Met’s ‘Costume Art’ exhibition, which opened in conjunction with the Met Gala (open now until January 10th 2027). The feature highlighted our collaboration with designer Chet Lo, where we made his London Fashion Week show inclusive to blind and low vision audiences.

The feature sits within the ‘Disabled Body’ section of the exhibition, alongside two of Lo’s tactile looks, placed either side of Picasso’s ‘The Blind Man’s Meal’. 

As one of the world's most celebrated cultural institutions - this international recognition marks a meaningful step for Hair & Care.

Hair & Care featured in the V&A’s ‘Design & Disability’ in June 2025 - an exhibition curated by Natalie Kane, that celebrates the radical contributions of Disabled, Deaf, and neurodivergent people and communities to design history and contemporary culture.

It recognised our work with designer Sinéad O’Dwyer the season prior, where Hair & Care championed the inclusion of the first blind model to walk the runway at Copenhagen Fashion Week, with Lucy Edwards – a landmark moment for representation and inclusion for the sight loss community within fashion.

  • 'The exhibition goes far beyond the tired assumption that access means a ramp. It is also great to see disability-led design from all areas of life.'
