As I began COVID-19 shelter in place protocol, as a fashion designer, I was quickly drawn towards the issue of personal protective equipment, or PPE. I was immediately outraged at the dangerous lack of PPE, and at the same time concerned about the long term impact that these essential, but disposable garments would have on our environment. During this timeframe, I was also straining to maintain emotional connections to friends and family in distant locations and interact with the world, unable to smile through my mask while maintaining at least six feet of separation. As a response to all of this, I began to sew together plastic bags that were going to be thrown away, the plastic providing a barrier against the virus. I patchworked them together, a technique commonly used in quilts, to combine colors and make it visually comforting. I repurposed plastic bags in this prototype, because they were what was available to me while sheltering in place. Ideally, and if I were to further explore this concept, I would use biodegradable plastic, to better address the end-of-the-life cycle of this garment and explore treatment methods to extend the life of the garment. Personal Protective Equipment is necessary and important, but its clinical, dehumanizing nature, further expands social isolation. By using a more sustainable material, nostalgic techniques, and whimsical colors this garment aims to provide some much needed humanity and comfort in a difficult time.
