A designer who was told "disabled people don't need fashion" says she felt so angered that she now has an adaptive clothing firm, which appeared on the catwalk at London Fashion Week.
As a student, Hanan Tantush was showcasing customised clothing for disabled people as part of her coursework - after seeing her grandad's struggles following cancer surgery - when she heard the comment.
"That sentence made me so angry," she says.
