angel dixon's top picks for comfortability + accessibility

Words by Angel Dixon ~ friend, Australian model, and disability advocate who visited Spell HQ to do an inclusive design assessment of our Homecoming collection and style up her favourite looks.

When the conditions are right, comfortability is something we all have access to. The ability to be at ease in our clothing can be a challenge in a culture that has long carried the message, especially for women, that ‘beauty is pain,’ or that looking the part requires self-sacrifice, transformation or enduring discomfort. Messages that can be particularly harmful for people with disability.

For me, the Homecoming collection considers both form and function through breathable textiles, soft textures, flowing and flexible silhouettes, and minimal complicated fastenings. That combination creates space for more people to feel at ease while still expressing personal style, a reminder that comfort and beauty don’t have to sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.

One of this collection’s grounding values is intention, which mirrors the heart of accessible fashion. Intention is what transforms a piece from simply beautiful into something wearable, functional, and welcoming. For anyone who relies on gentle waistbands, soft linings, adjustable layers, or fabrics that reduce sensory strain, Homecoming extends an invitation. It offers style without demanding anything in return.

Angel wears the Snow Leopard Bias Mini Dress which features a a lightweight fabric that offers breathable comfort and a barely-there feel helping reduce sensory overload and maximise comfort.

Angel wears the Snow Leopard Strappy Gown which features adjustable front ruching and a hi-lo hem for true customisation, especially helpful for Angel when using her wheelchair.

Angel wears the Luciana Terry Singlet + Luciana Terry Short which features soft, stretchy terry fabric that slips on effortlessly making one-handed dressing easier.

Angel wears the Snow Leopard Asymmetric Blouse + Labyrinth Lace Mini Skirt which features elasticated cuffs, drawstring sides, and an elasticated waistband that ensures a comfortable and customisable fit for a wide range of wearers.

Angel wears the Luciana Terry Maxi Dress which is an easy slip-on style that features a thicker hand-feel fabric to create a cosy, calm, and grounding feel for sensitive skin.
