Form of protection?


Form of protection?

The construction of these different materials cover the body, the balloons are weaved in a arranged order that I believe mimics the look of a protective upper body garment as it hides and encloses our important organs from the outside world.

From these images I have questioned Does the materials have to be protective? Or can I create a jacket that has the function of only looking protective through construction, as it obviously won’t be able to fully protect the wearer because we are required to use the wool. (Wool blend) sample for our jacket.

What other materials can I use to interpret this? That still looks tailored, crisp and clean? Yet has the looks of being protective.
