Rue's 'big disabled energy' ethos celebrates fashion and disability visibility rubyrouxbijou
Rue is a Wales-based influencer and disability visibility in fashion advocate. She shares her vintage-inspired looks on instagram @rubyrouxbijou. I have loved fashion throughout history, and I like to feel beautiful. This vintage ’50s blue tulle dress is just such a fairy-tale piece. The purse reminds me of 1930s boudoir beauty; the shoes are just princess shoes!
ADVERTISEMENT The linen-trousers-and-waistcoat look has a very ’30s Bonnie Parker feel to it but with a modern twist, as I’ve worn it quite unconventionally. And of course, the pièce de résistance: my glittery gold-flecked walking stick. Having a mobility aid that is also beautiful is such a big deal and helps break down stigmas surrounding disability.I would describe it as an eclectic mix of old and new, bright and beautiful, and bringing big disabled energy.
