Just received a new brief entitled 'Home-Pocket' which explores our personal context and symbolism of home.

When I think of my for example Mum synesthesia takes over and my memories float into a mist of Armani, Chanel Chance and Gucci Rush 2.
After initial research into what, where and who I considered to be 'home' I started to think about how a pocket could be incorporated into contour design. I began to play around with paper, seeing how different forms of pockets could be created. My final design is inspired by children's literature, including the likes of Beatrix Potter and A.A.Milne, as well as trinkets and keepsakes. The bra design is made from vacuum-formed plastic, paper mache, wire, vintage crocheted lace and a handcrafted back fastening.
