ABSTRACT
This article presents field research involving the visually impaired to understand the real need and best solution for the creation and interpretation of surface design in clothing. Since individuals with partially or totally compromised vision generally cannot cope with the textile stamping. After the fieldwork at the Association of Disabled Persons of the West of Minas (A-DEFOM) in Divinopolis, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, prototypes of clothing were planned, created and developed with an inclusive approach by a group of students from Divinopolis College (FACED). Through a project methodology, the students developed a collection of Braille embossed shirts, aiming to facilitate the interaction, discussion and understanding of the surface design context, so that those who can see well and the ones who cannot, could read of screen-printing.
