Five After Nine:

A Research and Design Study of Charged Objects

Inspired by the extreme sense of community I witnessed among the people of Nova Scotia, my home province, in light of recent disasters, Five After Nine explores five archetypes integral to the province's local communities and cultural development. The unique silhouettes, materials, and functionality of the garments reflect the distinctive characteristics of these archetypes, influenced by their work, environments, ergonomics, and material culture.
