James Parr (Model & Amputee) | #86


Listen Later

After having his leg amputated due to cancer, James Parr had to first cope with his own internalised ableism before changing the perceptions of his friends and his ever-expanding social communities.

This included a recent Instagram post involving being asked to travel to Paris to meet a person with a fetish for amputees. James challenged those who responded to the post "Gross" as they weren't saying the offer was but that someone finding his disability sexy were.

When you're not finding him walking the runways around the country or being the face of brands like Calvin Klein you can find James writing disability advocacy pieces for Harpers Bazaar he's found in studio with us - Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin.
