Recently, the high street giant featured a disabled model in its recent window campaign.
Shelly Vella, the fashion director at Cosmopolitan magazine, said she believed the "all-inclusive attitude to consumers" would soon be adopted by other retailers.
Commenting on the upcoming Disabled and Sexy show, which aims to raise money for the Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Shelly said: "The disabled fashion show is a great idea and will be very popular.
"Embracing disabled models in imagery for high street retailers has proven possible and successful, and will hopefully become more the norm."
The Cosmpolitan magazine employee added: "The most important thing to address is the availability of product, access to retailers and relevance of product considering the disability. If more imagery and awareness can create the above, then the fashion industry and the consumer is onto a winner."
