New York, NY — SPARKIES, a New York City-based adaptive clothing brand, is proud to announce its participation in the Abilities Expo New Jersey that took place on May 2-4th.
Known for its innovative fusion of style and accessibility, SPARKIES designs garments that are both fashion-forward and functional, tailored for individuals with physical disabilities, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune disorders, and other special needs. With the Expo’s platform and reach, SPARKIES aims to champion a future where style is truly inclusive and dressing becomes a dignified and joyful experience for everyone—especially those with limited dexterity and the caregivers who support them.
Founded on the belief that fashion should empower rather than exclude, SPARKIES is revolutionizing the adaptive clothing space. Each design is thoughtfully engineered with easy closures, soft fabrics, and accessibility in mind—eliminating traditional barriers to everyday dressing. Their clothing line supports a broad range of needs, including post-surgery recovery, wheelchair accessibility, and dressing challenges faced by individuals with chronic illness or neurological conditions. By making adaptive clothing both chic and practical, SPARKIES is redefining what it means to “dress well” in today’s diverse society.
The Abilities Expo, a national event celebrating innovation and inclusion in the disability community, provides the perfect stage for SPARKIES to share its mission. Over three dynamic days, attendees experienced cutting-edge assistive technologies, adaptive sports, service animals, inclusive workshops, and an Artist Market—all geared toward enhancing the lives of people with disabilities and their caregivers. For SPARKIES, the Expo is not only a networking opportunity, but also a call to action to the fashion industry: make clothing accessible, or be left behind.
With its recent partnership with Faire, SPARKIES is positioned to scale its impact, connecting with retailers across the U.S. and beyond. Faire’s wholesale marketplace allows boutiques, healthcare facilities, and assistive living centers to easily source SPARKIES garments, expanding the reach of adaptive fashion to communities everywhere. Interested collaborators can reach out directly at hello@sparkiesus.com to explore partnerships or stock the line.
“Style knows no bounds” is more than a slogan for SPARKIES—it’s a commitment. By combining fashion, functionality, and compassion, SPARKIES invites everyone to embrace adaptive design as a global movement. Whether you are living with a disability, caring for someone who is, or simply believe in the power of inclusive fashion, SPARKIES is here to make sure you look and feel your best, every single day.
