Synthesage

Children's drawings and clothes for the elderly fused to make young, fresh, commercial fashion. A juxtaposition of generations.

This is a design brief I set for myself. Often when I’m walking outside and I see elderly people I wonder what their clothes would have looked like on a young model, styled with high heels, walking confidently on the catwalk. I am also fascinated about the way children draw, as the way they draw gives an insight to how they see the world differently than the rest of us. In this project I wanted to merge the two far ends of the age spectrum to create a fun, playful collection for anyone who’s young at heart.
