Fearful ocean
70% of our planet is covered by water, and due to sea-level rise, this percentage may increase rapidly. This means for us as humans, there will be less habitable places to live on land, meaning we will have to become more dependent on the water. A conscious collection prioritising sustainability and highlighting our impact on the planet. Sails are reworked into oversized protective coats and garments; the random placement of print graphics and numbers make each piece in this collection unique. Digitally designed and printed undergarments inspired by natural disasters and water pollution, keep the wearer warm against harsh weather conditions at sea.
Throughout my FMP I have learnt so much about myself, and have acquired some amazing skills, such as working with sail fabric, and I feel this has pushed my knowledge so much. Looking at my project from an outside perspective, I would hope that it is perceived as an eco-conscious collection, and I hope that it captures the ideas of sustainability and educating the viewers on the impacts of global warming on our planet.
