"Natalie Trevonne was only 11 years old when she started losing her eyesight due to juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Eventually, she realized that the disease was attacking her eyes to such a significant degree that things in her life would change forever.
And they did. Trevonne would go on to co-found a clothing brand to "bridge the gap between disability and the fashion industry."
She designed a physical clothing line, Not Your Inspiration, also known as NYI, in partnership with digital artist Ernest Spicer and entrepreneur Tiffany Reiss, to make fashion accessible to everyone, especially those who are blind or have low vision.
"NYI is all about textures because, as a blind woman, that's how I identify my clothing," Trevonne said. "I want people to be able to go into their wardrobe without having to see and feel it and know what's what. It makes the process so much easier." "
