While disability rarely graces the runways of major fashion shows, it is not incompatible with the art of fashion. For content creator @allysstar_, who has an amputated leg, it's not an obstacle to style but an invitation to create differently and to be inventive. Thus, her prosthesis is not simply a medical device for balance: it's the cornerstone of her look, the centerpiece of her outfits.<\/p>\n
Content creator @allysstar_ is a one-woman inspiration. This style-forward woman dresses like magazine models and offers her own take on trends. She runs the kind of Instagram account that makes you want to pin everything. She doesn't just follow hashtags ending in "core" or copy what already exists.<\/p>\n
Known for her understated yet distinctive looks, she manages to create iconic outfits from even the simplest wardrobe staples. She's one of those lucky few who can pull off every look, even the most nonchalant ones. And her aura isn't the only reason for such a "wow" effect. Just as Lagerfeld made his dark sunglasses iconic, and Chanel did with her ever-present tweed, Alice, her real name, also has her signature accessory. And originally, it was more imposed upon her than chosen.<\/p>\n
With each outfit, she dons a garment that responds neither to a fashion trend nor to the dictates of a women's magazine, but to a physical need. It's a prosthesis, and it doesn't perfectly mimic the physical appearance of a normal leg. It reflects the free and joyful personality of its owner. It's a superb trompe l'oeil: a false leg covered in an almost complete tattoo that looks more real than life. A single motif that provides all the whimsy an outfit demands. <\/p>\n
