After my research on existing packaging and research on fashion kits, I chose to develop a product that would act as a package for the 8 fashion items I chose (Scissors, Measuring tape, French curve, Tracing wheel, Pencil & Ruler). I chose these tools, after surveying some of the fashion students and faculty here at university.
After I studied the tools: their function, usability, placement, frequency of use and speed at which they are used, I chose to create a Vest, the designer could wear while they design. Because the fashion student/designer always has to stay up-to-date with the latest fashion. This vest would help facilitate that by making the tools accessible and near by.
The pockets for the vest: I began by designing them as they looked, but then I realized they wouldn't be practical for every kind of tool, if the designer wanted to use it to carry a differently shaped tool. So I decided to design the pockets so that they would be versatile to any preferred use.
Above, you will notice different designed versions of the vest. I chose to make it from old canvas, to keep with the sustainability theme. The canvas also helps keep the sharp and heavy tools from dropping or poking the user.
