The official uniform for the Australian Paralympic team has been unveiled at Australian Fashion Week, featuring accessibility modifications created in collaboration with the team.Accessibility features include magnetic fasteners instead of buttons on jackets, elasticised waistbands for both chinos and shorts, as well as zippers in place of shoelaces on some sneakers.
For Parker, who aims to also compete in para-cycling in Paris, the addition of a zipper in the shoes is of particular importance. Kate McLoughlin, long time Chef de Mission for the Australian team, says athletes were involved in the design stages."We had athletes from a variety of different sports, a variety of different impairments as well, just to make sure they were comfortable and excited about what the uniform was looking like."
