- Stephanie Thomas is an American disability fashion stylist, creative director, public speaker, voice actor, author, and professor. In 2006 she coined the phrase "Why are there more in-store clothing options for pets than there are for people with disabilities?". In 2019, Thomas made the Business of Fashion BOF 500 list of People Shaping the Global Fashion Industry. People (magazine) reported that during her time working at WVKL-FM (95.7) radio station in Norfolk, Virginia as part of the "PJ Deejay" campaign, Thomas strictly wore pajamas for an entire year, and discussed the issue on-air everyday to raise awareness of the limited clothing options for people with physical disabilities. Through this experience, Thomas noticed that the stress of going out in public dressed like nobody else was leading her to isolation. Her work in disability fashion styling, challenging industry ableism spans 30 years, developing and trademarking the Disability Fashion Styling System which has been featured by Vogue, The Guardian, Refinery29, Highsnobiety, Paper and The New Yorker.
