The Neurospicy Show: The Most Exclusive, Inclusive Event Around Boston
Presented as part of Boston Fashion Week, produced by Lau Lapides Company, fashion meets high fun at an event where authenticity takes center stage! The Neurospicy Show is redefining the runway by celebrating neurodivergent models and cutting-edge adaptive fashion, complete with a festive nod to upcoming Halloween styles and costumes. Built from the ground up as an all-inclusive, sensory-friendly celebration, this event gives every attendee room to shine, connect, and learn—no rigid corporate structure required.
Featured designer Solace Collective designs sensory-friendly loungewear that’s as stylish as it is functional. Their pieces eliminate irritation, invite self-expression, and create a sense of belonging. Award-winning designs are made with soft, upcycled materials, crafted without tags or harsh seams, and designed with subtle fidget-friendly features. Cat Burkey approaches inclusive design through the lenses of intersectionality and functionality, continuously searching for ways to increase usability and reduce environmental and humanitarian harm. She believes strongly in the principles of co-design, and that user experience and feedback play an integral role in the path to the final product.
Have your professional photos and videos taken, as the star in the limelight!
Bring the family, rock whatever style makes you feel awesome, and help rewrite the rules of the runway!
Full Day Passes: $ 50 Adult Ticket | $30 Under 18
