In Praise of Shadows
2022
In collaboration with Nottingham-based charity Emmanuel House, this
project aims to create a human-centred design for the homeless. Drawing inspiration from Tanizaki’s book together with the unseen social issues that remain in the
shadows, this project delivers a positive message: through the praise of shadows, there is
comfort and serenity that lie within.
This coat emphasises interchangeability and functionality, including detachable panels, deep pockets, and a hidden pocket in the collar. The piece was made responsibly with 100% upcycled materials, and donated to Emmanuel House.
