ar+ifact
Timeless vintage militaria sourced, re-engineered, and re-purposed into one-off objects
Synthesis’ ar+ifact line consists of vintage military pieces re-worked with the addition of zippers, pockets, sleeves, and new functioanlities.
For the first collection of ar+ifact pieces, we explored themes of transformation, articulation, and expansion.
I carefully deconstructed, made pattern pieces for add-on pieces, and re-constructed each of the garments.
