Fashion is a form of communication where its language plays an active role, allowing any wearer to express themselves within society. The world of fash-ion should be democratised and humanised, although there is a visual contempo-raneity that generates a worrying lack of inclusion for the visually impaired user. Despite the lack of inclusion, for the visually impaired user, the communicational power of fashion is seen as a powerful tool for expression and communication, as personal presentation reflects how the user wishes to be perceived and understood by society. This article reflects on the importance of urgently looking at the lack of inclusion in the fashion world by presenting the relevance that the communi-cational power of the fashion world has for the visually impaired user, based on a practical study conducted through exploratory interviews with visually impaired users. The aim is to encourage future research into improving awareness of this relationship, thus combating the lack of inclusion in the world of fashion.
