Day Four:
Today was about making and developing your garment. The envelope to our garment is complete but we are still having problems with the structure: it needs to be a flexible skirt as well as a sturdy shelter. More experimentation is needed.

Recycling a beach ball and water bottle has led to a water tank in a portable shower being made for camping.

Work is in progress. We are finishing our product and testing it if it gets on well with the human body. Also, we are making sure of an aesthetic look.

Day Two:
Talk + tutorial by Dr. Annie Shaw. She introduced abit about herself and her background and have a lecture on her thoughts of what makes a wearable shelter. Each pair then had a tutorial with her, the feedback she gave to us helped develop our structure and help choice a material - pleated cotton.

Day One:
Group meeting introducing the brief and each other. We were then paired up to work on our 'wearable shelters'. My pair decided to base our idea on the thought of transforming skit and hula hoops.

This is a test model to see the transformation of a portable shower and to see how practical it is.

Finalised idea for wearable shelter which will bring Urban comfort to a country side. The backpack can transform into a shower with a portable shower tank within.
