The Daily Beast introduces us to Jillian Mercado, a fashion blogger who also has a physical disability. Mercado discusses her experiences as an intern with Allure magazine and the accessibility challenges of covering Fashion Week. Her sense of style is also on display on her personal blog, which has some great photos of Mercado hobnobbing with the haute couture set at various fashion shows. As someone who owns a ridiculous number of beige and khaki pants, I admire anyone who can coordinate more than two colors at once. I look forward to hearing more from Mercado as she navigates a world where image is everything.
