Kidz First - Jammies in June and July!

The terrible state of child poverty in our nation has been well publicised. Devastating stories of our Kiwi kids living in poverty with mounting health problems, little to no food, and few positive life outcomes. 

Here are four jammies I made for children size 2-3 and 4-5. This was my first time doing children's wear and I'm quite happy with the way they have turned out :D Hope the kids like them!

The purpose of Jammies in June is to help keep kids warm and hopefully lessen the high rates of preventable illness in children such as Acute Rheumatic Fever; a disease usually only found in third world countries but prevalent in Counties Manukau. Jammies help keep little chests warm and during cold winter nights and decrease hospital admissions for asthma.

PUBLIC PRIVACY

Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection

Nazneen Daruwalla

Public Privacy illustrates the similarity between fashion and architecture involving the concept of spatial aesthetic between interior and exterior environments. In my garments I show space through layering and structuring, which not only adheres to the concept of space but also incorporates the three-dimensional elements of architecture; volume, texture, line and form.

The window display portrays the spatial aesthetic by  producing depth and a three-dimensional impression. The hand-made sculpture has the effect of an outer environment developing into an interior void, which produces the essence of an exterior and interior space. The cut-outs are enforced to make the sculpture look as if it is getting smaller, which enhances the layering techniques used in the garments. My design development focuses on showing a double layering technique to represent layering and structure. This technique has been incorporated in the display by the cut-out boards; by placing the cut-outs in a layered formation a person experiences the inner and outer space of the environment.

Public Privacy's garments feature three-dimensional techniques that produce layers and structures to represent the similarity between fashion and architecture in relation to the concept of spatial aesthetics in an environment.
