Reflecting its title, Final Home, this garment with over 40 pockets represents the designer’s concept that clothing can ultimately become a home. Fill the pockets with newspaper to stay warm when outdoors, or insert cushions into the pockets to create a jacket that is ideal for watching an outdoor sport. This coat is useful in a range of different situations in everyday life, while it is so flexible that its use can be extended to survival scenarios.
This garment representing clothing as a home is arguably a symbol of a society dominated by the nuclear family and in which the emphasis is on the individual life. This garment is also a product of recycling, and therefore the concept behind the product also incorporates social issues such as ecology.
