Reconfiguring Care
Reconfiguring Care
This project presents a system of functional modular garments developed from research into the London Underground and its role as a wartime shelter. Inspired by this history and the experiences of wartime nurse Edith Cavell, the collection explores themes of care, survival, and functionality through medical and military references. Through photography, map analysis, and spatial experimentation, the project translates the two-dimensional logic of the Underground map into three-dimensional garments using negative cutting and modularconstruction. Adjustable components enable multiple ways of wearing and accommodate different body types, creating a flexible modular garment system that responds to both the body and the spaces it inhabits.
