Good Intentions

A collaborative project between Shenkar’s Fashion Design Department and the Sheba Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Department for war-injured soldiers. Twelve fashion students worked closely with twelve wounded soldiers, each with unique physical challenges and personal stories, to co-design adaptive, fashionable garments that promote independence and dignity in everyday life. The process was rooted in design thinking, with occupational therapists guiding the students to create solutions such as magnetic closures, garments compatible with medical braces, and custom features like pockets for white canes. Beyond aesthetics, the project explored how fashion can be a tool for healing, empowerment, and inclusion.
