'Shelter my Soul' was created for a Haute Couture Collection. The brief was to create a garment only using white material focusing on form and silhouette.
My starting point was shelter, which inspire me to research homeless people and insect anatomy in terms of armour. I was influenced by sleeping bags and the creases they formed in different positions, which gave me ideas to incorporate different types of pleating into my work. Lucy Orta's work and my studies of homeless people made me think about homeless people and necessities humans need; I wanted to use the idea of function in my garment so I looked at sections and pockets - if I had more time I would have liked to incorporate more of my ideas inspiring function.
