Aille Designs

Aille Design (pronounced: eye) is an emerging designer brand that is disrupting fashion industry norms and changing the way society views inclusive design. We add small beads to the exterior of clothing to form phrases in Braille that communicate clothing characteristics to blind individuals such as colour, fit, textiles and care content. The Braille beading on our garments is fully legible and is created with Swarovski Crystal pearls.

What’s unique about this concept is that the functionality is displayed through an innovative design element and is created to appeal to a wide range of sighted and non-sighted fashion consumers. Alexa Jovanovic, founder of Aille Design, creates all of the garments through a co-design process with a diverse team of blind, visually impaired and sighted fashion lovers. The company is run on the founder’s philosophy, “good design shouldn’t exclude anyone.”
