For my final year I have worked theoretically around the concept of humankind repopulating on Mars after Earth has become no longer inhabitable. I began with developing a pre-collection that explored design streetwear for Mars, combining function and aesthetic. Exploring the design of spacesuits for purpose, the use and placement of pockets, then related this to everyday needs in streetwear. For this collection I looked into function, durability and longevity of canvas fabric.

Then for my final collection, I developed my concept further theoretically designing a fully up-cycled collection. Where I reconstructed clothing from the contents of what people would quickly grab and pack into their survival bags as they evacuate Earth. Though this collection I wanted to highlight the idea of how humankind are now having to survive and adapt from what they already have, in order to sustainable a new life on Mars.
