It’s here!! Just opened my hardcopy Braille version of #BritishVogue and it’s genuinely thrilling to turn to the title page and read the word ‘Vogue’ in Braille!! There’s been a lot of coverage online already of the Reframing Fashion articles in this magazine which feature disabled people and i’m looking forward to reading them but even more exciting is to read the rest of the magazine as I remember doing when I was sighted; the ridiculous fashion styles that I’ll never afford or even want to wear, cultural events, celeb gossip and even the lavish adverts - pure escapism and I love it all. Excuse me while I go and indulge in a little cry#inclusion#Braille #blind#Disability @disability
@disability Here’s an example of how an advert in #BritishVogue is described in #Braille -

I’m finding this fascinating!
@sarahmatthews @disability I was wondering about the adverts and how they’d approach them, if at all. I’m glad they’ve gone all-in on this! Enjoy, but don’t wear out your fingertips in excitement.
@philsherry Ha, yes my fingers are tingling already!
@sarahmatthews @philsherry ooh, Radio 4's In Touch was all about this on Tuesday evening. Sounds pretty neat. Link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001lyy0
@pete @philsherry Yes, that was a really good episode! Just hope other magazines follow their lead
