Presentation Day- this is where we presented the final output of our two week project. We wanted someone to wear the garment during the presentation to demonstrate the whole idea behind it.

Day 3- When we decided on the materials we started the final construction of the garment. We sew together the nylon netting fabric in order to be more secure.

Day 3- When the frame was ready we headed down to the fabric store to look for different fabrics to cover the garment. The main aim was to find a breathable, lightweight material to cover most of the garment and also a stretchy material for the straps. At the end we decided to use an ivory nylon netting to cover the garment and a transparent material for the face so the person wearing it would have a clear vision.

Day 2-During our time in the studio we started brainstorming ideas about our garment. The main idea was to provide oxygen in this privately owned public space. We searched for different masks and hats that would cover the face. We wanted to create something that could be worn but could be easily be carried so it wouldn't be a burden to anyone wearing it. At the end of the day we came up with this idea of a breathing mask that anyone could carry to "filter" its own air in order to avoid the dusty environment/air created by the two construction sites. The mask would be covered by a lightweight material and would have straps in order for the person wearing it to be able to carry it.

Day 2- In order to come up with an idea we searched for wearable breathing masks. We used some of these photographs in order to form our idea and design.

Day 1- We visited our site (Spinningfields) in order to determine the target of our project. Due to the construction sites the area is really dusty, so we wanted to make something to make the quality of the air better
