This project is a response to the prompt of making a garment that transforms into a shelter. I was inspired by disaster-relief efforts in current events and sought to create a hypothetical emergency shelter in wearable form. I took care to use the aesthetic of emergency situations in attractive ways while also making the piece fully functional as
a tent.

Jacket-Tent is made primarily out of water-proof plastic tarps. One feature of the jacket is an optional hood that can be tightened to protect the user from rain. This part later transforms into the head of the tent.
