This paper explores the conflict between reconciling Blackness and disability in individuals with multiply marginalized identities. The theoretical foundation of the Black Feminist Disability Theory reveals the scale at which disability is stigmatized in the Black community; this stigma serves as a barrier for effective intersectional activism against oppression. Through the analysis of hip-hop culture and its tropes, this paper unearths various problematic attitudes toward disability through a Black perspective. However, hip-hop also displays progressive growth, which is evident through the normalization of discussion about mental health. Furthermore, grassroots activism through organizations like Krip-Hop seek to dismantle the socially constructed oppression against Black Americans with disabilities. If the Black feminist disability framework becomes salient in society, particularly through musical avenues and activism like Krip-Hop, then intersectional identities can be properly affirmed and move as a collective unity to combat oppression.

In recent years, three-dimensional design, dressing and simulation programs came into prominence in the textile industry. By these programs, the need to produce clothing samples for every design in design process has been eliminated. Clothing fit, design, pattern, fabric and accessory details and fabric drape features can be evaluated easily. Also, body size of virtual mannequin can be adjusted so more realistic simulations can be created. Moreover, three-dimensional virtual garment images created by these programs can be used while presenting the product to end-user instead of two-dimensional photograph images. In this study, a survey was carried out to investigate the visual perception of consumers. The survey was conducted for three different garment types, separately. Questions about gender, profession etc. was asked to the participants and expected them to compare real samples and artworks or three-dimensional virtual images of garments. When survey results were analyzed statistically, it is seen that demographic situation of participants does not affect visual perception and three-dimensional virtual garment images reflect the real sample characteristics better than artworks for each garment type. Also, it is reported that there is no perception difference depending on garment type between t-shirt, sweatshirt and tracksuit bottom.
