Therefore, this project came duo to pandemic needs. Based on personal health, security and culture. Specifically made to help others and give a more fashionable air to their new day-to-day looks. About the methodology used, was the conclusive type of research because it was a well structured design with a definitive methodology that was tested and carried out to formulate hypotheses through crative thinking and internet researches.

CHALLENGE: There was obstacles that came the development and creation of the project. Exclusively to create a design that could speak for itself to send and translate my experience at Central Saint Martins in 2017 that allied comfort, protection and my already built illustration collection inspired in the city that lives in my heart, the underground London and Balenciaga creations. Another big challenge was to sew the synthetic leather on another fabric because the leather doesn't slide easily on the sewing machine, thereby not leaving a perfect seam at first.
