Behind the Brand
Christina Stephens was never here to play by the rules. We launched to give women with disability and dexterity challenges more choice and a louder voice—and now, we’re here to break down barriers for all. Our designs are bold, elevated, and rebellious, flipping adaptive fashion on its head. We create for those who refuse to settle, who demand style, and who wear what they want—not just what they’re given.
More than a clothing line, Christina Stephens is a fashion revolution. Under Founder Jessie Sadler’s leadership, we engineer game-changing innovations—3D digital pattern-making, hidden adaptations, and magnetic closures—built for real life.
We’re here to make noise, shake up the industry, and prove that adaptive fashion can be fierce, functional, and unapologetically stylish.
Each Christina Stephens piece is designed to defy limits—balancing eco-impact, pressure-point precision, and fabrics that move with you, not against you.
Care
We partner only with manufacturers and suppliers who share our commitment to the planet, ensuring every step, from fabric to packaging, is designed with a greener future in mind.
Community
It’s at the heart of everything—we design with and for diverse abilities, listening to our community’s needs and giving back wherever we can.
Culture
Redefining fashion and shaking up the stereotypes by blending creativity, innovation and inclusivity to reshape and disrupt the fashion culture.
Our Founder / Jessie Sadler
Meet the creative force behind Christina Stephens. Jessie's not your conventional CEO – she's the passionate innovator who turned a personal insight into a fashion revolution. When her Mum's injury exposed the gaps in adaptive fashion, Jessie didn't just see a problem – she saw an opportunity to create change.
Launching during a pandemic became her catalyst for innovation. While the industry stood still, she built a brand that refuses to accept "making do" as good enough. This isn't just about clothes – it's about transforming possibilities.
Her neurodiverse perspective isn't just an attribute – it's her edge. From pioneering Australia's first adaptive runway to establishing a strong presence on The Iconic, Jessie's reshaping what adaptive fashion means. The 2024 Assistive Technology Suppliers Australia Award a testament of her unwavering commitment to excellence.
Part visionary, part dynamo, all heart – Jessie's the straight-shooting chic with the occasionally unruly hair who's leading with authenticity. She's not here to follow trends. She's here to set them.
