MEET PAULA
After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 18 years old and ending up with a permanent ostomy bag at 19, Paula turned to fashion to cope. She became famously known on social media as a 'trailblazer' who challenged the stigma by styling her ostomy as a statement piece. With her own lived experience as an ostomate and passion for fashion design, she's the creative brain behind Ostome Fashion.
