Sense of Comfort
My thesis was inspired by my personal journey with having Sensory Processing Disorder. Sensory issues have always played a major role in my relationship with clothing, so using high-quality natural fibers and various multi-textural knits were essential elements of my design. It was important that I created a cocoon-like sense of comfort that would accommodate individuals with sensory sensitivities by making them feel safe and promote a positive outlook on the possibilities of their wardrobe.
