Felissimo Co., Ltd. Press release: November 27, 2024 Felissimo “All Right Research Institute” will hold the first “All Right Day” experience/try-on event for “clothes that can be worn with one hand” and “clothes that have no front and back” that are ahead of inclusive design that “is good as it is, just as it is” You can see, touch, and wear the talk session and new fashion items that also serve as the announcement of the new “one hand magic” product, which can be easily worn with one hand and has a mature design. “All Light Institute” first event The All Right Institute, founded by Felissimo and currently active with Tomohiro Sawada, author of “Minority Design: Let’s Create a Society that Makes Use of
Weakness”, is a Yuru Researcher. We held our first event “All Right Day” on November 8th and 9th, 2024, one week from December 9th to December 9th. New fashion items from “One Hand Magic”, the second theme of “All Right Research Institute” that can be worn with one hand to make you shine, and the first theme: “A world without two sides” This is the first place where you can experience and try on all of the items at the same time. I will publish the pattern. Tomohiro Sawada, Momoka Hyakutake (online), Kanae Kido, and researchers from
Felissimo’s All-Right Research Institute took to the stage for a talk show, followed by a hands-on experience and try-on of all the items. We also held a corner where participants could ask about their “trouble” in implementing the purpose of conducting research together with various people. “All Right Research Institute” not only develops products using inclusive design that listens to the needs of people with disabilities, but also solves the unrealized needs and problems of people without disabilities. It’s okay/no problem) = We are developing products that make everyone’s weaknesses, weaknesses, and complexes feel “ok as they are, and fun as they are.” ・Event overview / Press release ◆First event on November 8th “All Light DAY” Event flow (The details of the “All Right DAY” event held on November 9th, which was moved to the venue, and information on the “All Right Research Institute” item display at the December 7th event in western Japan are also listed below) Talk show The talk session started with an overview of the initiative from Asako Kakei, who works in Felissimo’s IT-related business while also working as a researcher at the All-Right Research Institute. “All Right Research Institute” will start in 2022 and aim to create a society where socially vulnerable people can be themselves. Based on the idea of Mr. Sawada’s book “Minority Design”, the initial theme is “A world without two sides”. , research on the latest 2nd theme “one hand magic” is progressing.

We are developing T-shirts, socks, and pants that have no front or back sides. The origin of the name “All-Right Laboratory” is “It’s okay as it is = All-Right, and we want to do research together = Institute.”

particularly liked and their honest impressions of participating in this project.

Not only does this solve the specific problems of sitting in a wheelchair, such as not being able to create a beautiful silhouette for clothes, and the fabric around the waist becoming loose, but it is also fashionable. Kakei The deep slit design is appreciated even by non-wheelchair users. For example, the key point is that they are functional, making them easy to use when riding a bicycle, and are easy to wear, while also having a beautiful form. Regardless of the presence or absence of a disability, this service helps resolve the individual concerns of various people, as well as concerns that had not yet surfaced, discover needs, and provide convenience.

Mr. Sawada A common issue with inclusive design is that it is functionally good for those involved, but the design is not good enough for those who are not. I think this is an item that has arrived. one hand magic Outerwear that can be worn with one hand Product details>> https://feli.jp/s/pr241118/2/ [Video] >> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WH5X9gR2BmM ・Snap shirt that can be worn with one hand Mr. Kido I like that the cuffs have elastic, so you can stop them at any position you want, and you can easily adjust the sleeve length by putting them on, and you can wear them stylishly. Shimokubo We devised a design that goes beyond conventional wisdom, such as not adding snap buttons or elastic to the cuffs of regular shirts, and yet still looks like a shirt.

Snap shirts are stylish, cute, and really easy to wear items.

Mr. Sawada When you develop a product with diverse perspectives and visions in mind, you will notice new things that are commonplace. The All-Right Research Institute is full of various discoveries every day, some big discoveries, and some minor discoveries, so I think it’s a project full of diversity in discoveries. one hand magic Snap shirt that can be worn with one hand〈White〉 Product details >>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH5X9gR2BmM ・Shoulder bag that is easy to use with one hand Mr. Hyakutake It is convenient because it can be handled with one hand. I feel that it is easy to use because the zipper is easy to open and the magnet is strong enough. It would be nice if there were more options for small items, especially since small items are difficult to handle with one hand. Yasuda We have made various improvements such as making the shoulder straps wide so that your shoulders won’t hurt even if you carry it for long periods of time, and making it possible to attach and detach the shoulder part with one hand. The fact that it can be attached and detached with one hand when carrying a smartphone strap or multiple bags is convenient even for people without hemiplegia. The pocket, which can be used as a wallet, can be opened and closed with one hand by inserting a core and changing the hardness. There are 10 pockets, and I think the trial and error we put into how to use each of them has resulted in a new item with a new shape.

Although it is known that clothes and shoes for people with disabilities exist in the world, they are custom-made or have to be purchased at a high price. It is often a work rather than a product. This time, Felissimo created a product that incorporated the voices of people with disabilities, rather than a work of art. I don’t think anything like this has ever happened before.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/12759/3739/12759-3739-72545db3a8783d28528123715ac338bd-2048×1366.jpg Mr. Sawada Although the number of items for people with disabilities has been increasing recently, there are times when the prices are so high that it is difficult to buy the second item onwards. Among these, Felissimo’s knowledge of improving quality while keeping costs down is very reassuring. What I always value in my activities at the All Right Institute and as an individual is to maximize the overlap, which not only makes the people involved happy, but also makes everyone else happy. The greater the overlap, the happier everyone will be. This will improve the economy and business, which will lead to a stable supply of products. I think that this time’s “one hand magic” also has a greater overlap.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/12759/3739/12759-3739-574841c1f66ab199cc16471ac41ec230-2048×1366.jpg Mr. Hyakutake After actually trying out various things (starting with prototypes), Mr. Felissimo was like, “Tell me anything!” and it was easy for me to express my opinions. I was able to respond to my opinions, so I had fun thinking about it together and once I was able to use it, I thought, “It’s going to be really easy from now on,” and “Other people will probably benefit from it, too.” When I posted photos of myself modeling products on Instagram, I purchased coats and shirts from fans who don’t have disabilities. We received your feedback. I was more happy than ever that the package had arrived properly. ◆I wish there were products like this in the future Mr. Sawada I have a question for both of you about the future. Do you ever wish there was a concept or product like this? Mr. Kido It would be great if there was a special occasion outfit that was easy for people with disabilities to wear and suitable for formal occasions. Last week, when I wore a suit for Shichi-Go-San, I usually go to the bathroom by myself, but when I wear a suit, I have to be assisted, which is inconvenient, so it’s nice to have clothes that are easy to put on and take off, even if it’s formal attire. . Mr. Hyakutake I would be happy if there were more small items such as shoulder bags that are easy to use with one hand and wallet functions, and accessories like necklaces. Especially since there are many small items such as wallets and card cases that are difficult to hold with one hand, the more options you have, the better.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/12759/3739/12759-3739-1a76a3c81b514ffe735fc0ca6b430acc-2048×1366.jpg Kakei When we announced “A World Without Two Sides” in October 2023, we received a lot of feedback from a variety of people that it narrowed down the number of people who would use it too much, and that it was not enough to just create it. While working on this project, I realized that all the members have their own assumptions. From the voices of working mothers within the company, I think it was extremely important to reevaluate and rethink the assumptions that “this type of clothing should have these specifications”. I would like to continue working to improve my beliefs.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/12759/3739/12759-3739-b434ecd09a798d8fa0ae10020e117735-2048×1366.jpg Mr. Sawada The person I want to reach the deepest level is people with disabilities, but what I want to reach next is the overlap. There are a lot of people in the surrounding area who are struggling in similar situations and want things to improve, so let’s not leave them out. I wish I could do both at the same time while developing and setting up several people to use it. Mr. Kido Ever since I couldn’t press the hand soap pump myself, I’ve been using a household dispenser that dispenses automatically. They have become commonplace during the coronavirus pandemic, making them cheap, convenient, hard to break, and easy to use. In the future, it will become necessary for the majority and minority to come together and create products together. Mr. Hyakutake Felissimo’s clothes are easy to use not only for people with disabilities, but also for a wide range of people, including healthy people and mothers raising children. I hope that I can play a role in promoting a world where boundaries are not created, and a society where people who are unaware of the needs of people with disabilities can be aware and considerate. ◆Q&A
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/12759/3739/12759-3739-dd5f71e905944a9fe1591ed6bff0888e-2048×1366.jpg Q. What do you like about the design of items that are both convenient and stylish to wear with one hand? A. Mr. Kido Coat colors like gray and blue and necklaces. If it’s physically difficult to wear something or if you have to ask for help, you end up giving up on the color. The longer your disability lasts, the more you forget about giving up. It reminded me of my forgotten feelings about wanting to wear my favorite colors and favorite items, so I felt the impact that design can have on my heart. Mr. Hyakutake As my disability became longer, I realized that I should give up wearing shirts. This item is easy to wear and I would like it in multiple colors. Q . Do you have a goal for selling shirts? A. Kakei First of all, I would like to do my best to deliver what I have created to everyone. Mr. Sawada I think it has the potential to become an item that will be loved for a long time. In future marketing activities, it will be important to expand awareness and promote understanding among a wide range of people. Q. This item is also attracting attention from visually impaired people, so please give us some advice on introducing this product to visually impaired people. A. Mr. Kido It’s about looking stylish just by wearing it. I think it’s an advantage that you can make the shirt look neat without having to worry about adjusting the opening of the collar after putting it on. Mr. Hyakutake The key point is to be stylish without fail. With Felissimo’s products, you don’t have to worry about the stress of wearing it with one hand or having to worry about how to wear it. I’m just imagining this, but I think it would be easy to use even for visually impaired people. Mr. Sawada Visually impaired people often lose things. I think that the fact that clothes are easy to decide on, bags are integrated with wallets, and that you won’t make mistakes or lose them will give you psychological peace of mind, along with comfort. ◆Trial/try-on session It was a lively event as participants were able to freely pick up the products and check out their ease of movement and comfort.

significance of continuing research and development that goes beyond clothing, and the evolution from diversity to multifaceted. I sent a message saying that I would like to go there with everyone. A board was also set up at the venue where people could participate by writing down their “problems”.
