My final Project: year zero




My final Project was based on the current recession, and I drew inspiration from 'The Great Depression' in the 20s/30s. I reconstructed an old male jacket from a charity shop and made it reversible. I made it from completely recycled materials; a 'make do and mend' type garment, with one side of the jacket created by weaving current newspaper articles based on the recession through one another. I then photographed it, with the lovely Karl as my model, to create (hopefully) an old feel about it - suggesting this idea of old concept, in a modern world; much like the recession now.
