I can completely see the genesis of Jane Bowler's shower curtain raincoat concept. Let's just say, it's natural to look at one thing that protects against water and apply it to another design that is supposed to provide that same protection.
"Fabricated using heat forming techniques and ultra-sonic welding," according to Psfk.com, Jane Bowler's designs will be showcased at the upcoming exhibition called 'Sustain' during the 2010 London Design Festival.
