QVC and Selma Blair announce new Adaptive & Accessible line

QVC has long been known for showcasing innovative, helpful products in its programing and on its website, so the brand’s introduction of an “Accessible Living” product line <https://qvc.uikc.net/c/50053/565130/9368?subId1=REV-LST-ACC-&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qvc.com%2Fadaptive-and-accessible%2F_%2FN-u7d4pe%2Fc.html>  seems like a fitting expansion into the fledgling accessibility market. 

Actor, author, fashion icon, and disability advocate Selma Blair has been named QVC <https://qvc.uikc.net/c/50053/565130/9368?subId1=REV-LST-ACC-&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qvc.com%2F> 's Brand Ambassador for Accessibility to promote the storied brand's massive new catalog. 

Blair has been vocal about her experience adapting to life with multiple sclerosis, and she’s enthusiastic about helping QVC become a go-to brand for the disabled, aging, and caregivers. 

“When QVC approached me, I was so impressed and grateful that they were welcoming these conversations,” says Blair in a press release. “One of the basic comforts of our life is being able to have fun shopping and to find things we find beautiful and useful. There is a more vibrant way to showcase these products, and I’m so excited to join QVC in exploring what is out there for all of us.”

Alongside a bespoke accessibility task force that includes members of the disability and caregiver communities, as well as QVC’s own Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Team, Blair will be assisted in spreading her message by fellow accessibility advocate Maura Horton. Horton founded the MagnaReady <https://qvc.uikc.net/c/50053/565130/9368?subId1=REV-LST-ACC-&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qvc.com%2FMagnaReady-Adaptive-Short-Sleeve-Button-Down-Closures.product.A486574.html>  adaptive apparel line, which she sold in 2019 to focus on broader accessibility challenges. 

After her husband was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s Disease, the entrepreneur turned fighting for equal access into a lifelong passion. 

On the QVC Adaptive  <https://qvc.uikc.net/c/50053/565130/9368?subId1=REV-LST-ACC-&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qvc.com%2Fadaptive-and-accessible%2F_%2FN-u7d4pe%2Fc.html> & Accessible product page, QVC boasts a “collection of universal, adaptive, and accessible designs… to help preserve independence and provide comfort and variety.”
