Preparation for the Storm

---

Abstract

The design, “Preparation for the Storm” is the first in a series of outfits designed and created for a collection titled Surge Release. The collection reveals relationships between lawless weather events and clothing that is chosen by consumers. The notion was constructed around an exploration and investigation of energy release as both a functional tool and a visual curiosity. Specifically, the collection addresses parallels that can be drawn between our wardrobes and the energy potential of a thunderstorm. The design was initially conceived through intense examination of the atmospheric phenomena known as thunderstorms.
