The ALLELES Design Studio - Prosthetic Covers Fashion

The mission of The ALLELES Design Studio is to provide fashion-forward and accessible prosthetic covers for amputees. Being influenced by the eyeglass industry, ALLELES uses a design approach to transform prosthetic cosmesis from a medical device into a new stream of fashion. While the prosthetic industry’s priority lies in regaining functionality, the ALLELES'' priority lies in fulfilling an emotional need by regaining confidence through self-expression. Co-founders, Ryan Palibroda and McCauley Wanner launched their products online through www.alleles.ca in October 2013. Creating an online store has allowed their prosthetic covers to be accessible to amputees worldwide, making it one of the first products in the prosthetic market to be available direct-to-consumer. Prioritizing disability awareness in mainstream culture has gained the ALLELES recognition worldwide with work being showcased: On @Instagram, at the Whitehouse, Museum of Man, Telus Science Center, Museum of Science and Technology, Kent State Museum of Fashion, Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, The World Economic Forum, and currently on display at the Carnegie Museum of Art.
We aim to empower amputees through providing choice of self-expression with affordable fashion-forward prosthetic covers for legs and arms.
