About
My name is Thea Hunter and I am a fashion design student studying at DeMontford, Leciester. I am passionate about fashion and drawing and want my work to be able to tell a story.
The concept of this project is based on how work can consume our lives—focusing on my parents' jobs, as they have so little time to relax. I repurposed items like my dad's 'old' work shirts (7 total) by deconstructing and using the fabric to create a modern design. I repurposed an old sweatshirt, giving it a new identity. I looked into creating a relaxed form of workwear, with more people working from home, wearing dressed down. Neon deadstock fabric relates to post-it notes at work and hi-vis jackets for night walks. Redefining fabrics through the use of patchwork pleated panels.
Based on addiction, this outerwear project looks at the different types of addiction such as drugs, alcohol etc. I created a overwear jacket based off of my research.
