My thesis collection is a take on adaptive design. What it is, why it is essential, and how it relates to my story. The garments have a thoroughly universal design approach with many adaptive technologies, such as the buttonhole pleats that allow compression from one silhouette to the next and pants deconstruction. Furthermore, the thesis also explores more personal themes with a nod to the Canadian tuxedo I grew up wearing while flower-picking in my childhood home.
