Henko
My final year honours project is a collection consisting of five convertible garments paired with simple seperates where necesary. Henko means change and adaptation in Japanese as the collection took inspirations from Japanese dress and culture. This project aimed to explore whether functional and interesting convertible garments could be created and marketed at a mainstream audience to bring the convertible fashion idea to the mass market in fashion.
