Checked my online survey today and it seemed that people of today stopped wearing raincoats because they felt that raincoats have been rejected already. The style is their main concern. So, that being given, I made 8 sketches of my improved raincoat. The Amphibian!!!!
The Amphibian
The word amphibian derived from the ancient Greek term amphibios which means "both kinds of life." Therefore making these kind of animals adaptable to any kind of weather. The raincoat as we know it, can only be worn in wet environment or as it is called, only when it is raining. Now, I decided that one way to make people use raincoats once again is to make it wearable in different environments. One way I thought of is making the raincoats convertible.
A Raincoat has three 3 significant parts. The hood, used to protect the head from the rain as to avoid getting it wet. The sleeves, also has the same function for the arms. The body or the skirt, also has the same function for the torso and legs. Now! I've decided to make each of the three significant parts detachable giving the wearer freedom and control over it based on the weather he or she faces. I wanted to use leather material to make it very stylish and classic. Leather is also sleek and water will just slide of if it is used as a raincoat.
I am saving the other details for class. Anyhow, I am still needing 2
more sketches, but so just you get a glimpse of the initial designs,
here are the 8 studies I already finished.
