Transforming Tent Jackets

The Survivalist: Adapting to Change Collection is Protective

— March 29, 2021 — Art & Design
The Survivalist: Adapting to Change collection has been designed by Emi Tanimura as a transforming fashiin range for those experiencing homelessness to help brave the elements more readily. The collection includes the Tent Trench that would provide wearers with a protective garment for braving inclement weather, which could then transform into a place to rest at night. This is achieved thanks to built-in inflatable poles that eliminate the need to carry around heavy hardware to keep the tent in place.

The Survivalist: Adapting to Change collection is achieved using deadstock fabrics and additional technical materials like GORE-TEX in order to make them waterproof, anti-tear and resistant to UV wear while still maintaining breathability. The garment designs would also accommodate the needs of those preparing for emergencies.
Trend Themes
1. Transformative Fashion for Homeless Individuals - There is an opportunity for fashion designers to create more clothing options that are multi-functional, durable, and geared towards protecting homeless individuals from harsh weather conditions while also providing a place to rest.
2. Inflatable Poles as a Solution for Portable Shelter - Inflatable poles can be adapted by companies in the outdoor gear industry to create portable shelters that are lightweight, easy to transport, and can be set up quickly by anyone.
3. Sustainable Fashion Using Deadstock Fabrics - Designers and textile manufacturers could create sustainable fashion trends that use deadstock fabrics, reducing waste and making use of existing materials.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - There is opportunity for fashion brands to create clothing that is multi-functional and durable, with an aim to help protect homeless individuals from inclement weather conditions and prepare them for emergencies.
2. Outdoor Gear - Outdoor gear companies could create portable shelters using inflatable poles that are lightweight, easy-to-assemble, and can readily adapt to different environments.
3. Textile Manufacturing - Textile manufacturers could incorporate the use of deadstock fabrics in their production to create sustainable fashion products that reduce waste and make use of existing materials.
