Abstract Bodies

Category: Accessories

I wanted to explore the idea of the bag being an extension of ourselves, the items that we put inside it are a reflection of who we are. I have explored this concept by giving the bag subtle human characteristics such as folded skin textures and organic shapes by researching abstract sculptures that take inspiration from human form. I was interested by the idea of shifting attitudes about the value of our clothes/accessories, the goal is to make the idea of ‘disposable’ clothes undesirable. Therefore the bag is something that is made to be valued and cared for like a second skin and becomes a part of the wearer and their history. The bag encompasses the idea of sustainability through longevity, the bag can be worn in multiple ways and folded to change the shape.
