Altered Image - Spring/Summer edition 2026

Altered Image is a new kind of fashion magazine, one created for neurodivergent individuals who want clothing, creativity, and lifestyle content that truly reflects their needs and celebrates their strengths. It’s a space where sensory-aware fashion, adaptive sewing methods, and neuro-inclusive style come together to support confidence, community, and authentic self expression.

Rooted in calm, clarity, and comfort, the magazine explores everything from accessible garment construction and sensory-friendly fabrics to personal style stories, wellbeing insights, and fashion approaches that honour the way neurodivergent people experience the world. Every feature is shaped with inclusivity at its heart, offering readers practical ideas, gentle guidance, and inspiring perspectives without overwhelm.

The inaugural issue centres on weddings and spring, a season of renewal, celebration, and self-expression. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful bridalwear insights, sensory-aware outfit ideas, neuro-inclusive wedding planning tips, and sewing techniques that help you craft garments that feel as good as they look. Whether you’re a bride, maker, stylist, or simply someone who loves fashion that understands you, this first edition sets the tone for a publication that empowers every reader to feel seen, supported, and wonderfully themselves.

Included in this bundle is the magazine itself in PDF format and 2 simple sewing craft patterns (printable PDFs) to enjoy. If you would like to share you creations with a like-minded community, please also check out the HIVE Community Group.
