Stand work
I looked at the shapes and elements of sleeping bags and rucksacks to inspire the practical and transformable element of my design. I wanted to create a garment which would be comfortable and also be able to transform in order to cater to a homeless persons needs such as sleeping and being able to transport their belongings.

Final designMy final design encompasses the comfort of a padded jacket with the practical potential to turn into a sleeping bag when the bottom section has been attached via zip to the coat. When removed, the bottom section functions as a rucksack which can be used to transport the persons belongings, or the coat itself, during the day. This garment has several uses in one, in order to offer solutions to problems that a homeless person may face when sleeping rough.
