EXO

My Final Graduate Collection, Exo. My concept looks into different interpretations of armour, in buildings, nature and for protection. My research developed into the theme of exoskeletal, and looking at different areas of protection and barriers. Looking further into different elements of protection I researched into traditional knotting to make fenders to protect boats, and traditional leather braiding techniques. I took inspiration from gun and knife holsters to design accessory pieces on the body, as I wanted the pieces in my collection to act like a layer of protection to the wearer.
