Welsh born designer Lucy Jones says she's been interested in fashion since she was a child, starting when her parents gave her a sewing machine.

威尔士出生的设计师露西·琼斯表示她从小就对时尚感兴趣，这始于父母送给她一台缝纫机的时候。

When I was 19 years old, I was really feisty, fiery, brave. I thought moving all the way to New York from Wales, where there are more sheep than people.

当我十九岁的时候，我真的很活泼、充满热情、非常勇敢。我想从威尔士一路搬到纽约，在威尔士，那里羊的数量甚至比人多。

I wanted to be the next big designer that was gonna have these glamorous runway shows.

我想成为下一个能举办这些迷人时装秀的大设计师。

I was never thinking about disability. I was never thinking about, you know, underserved people. And then something changed.

我从来没有考虑过残疾人群。从来没有考虑过底层人群的需求。但是事情发生了转机。

With most of the fashion industry serving the average healthy person, Jones didn't want to become just one of many. She wanted to be special.

由于大多数时尚业都是为普通健康人服务的，琼斯不想成为众多时尚产业中的一员。她想要与众不同。

I started talking with a family member who has cerebral palsy.

我开始和一位患有脑瘫的家庭成员交流我的想法。

And he said wouldn't it be great if things were more accessible, you know, doing up a pair of shoes independently and things I had never thought about.

他说，如果能让残疾人群的生活变得更加容易就好了， 比如独立系鞋带之类的，这些都是我从未想过的。

So Jones began to think about how a fashion designer can make the lives of disabled people easier and more beautiful.
