My classmate, Rhea, wanted to be a post woman when she was little. When interviewing her I got insight, and drew parallels between her past and present personality and attitudes. When she told her mom her dream of being a post woman when she was little, her mom didn\u2019t like the idea, but it didn\u2019t drive Rhea away from her aspiration. Rhea\u2019s dream career currently is to be a visual director or editor of a magazine, and she carries that strong vision with independence and resilience now, much like she did with her childhood dream. When thinking of a wearable during and after interviewing Rhea, I immediately thought of the iconic postal uniforms. I was especially inspired by the first designs of the female postal jacket from Britain. I easily related that to the modern day, fashion forward blazer that an editor or executive would wear. I wanted the jacket to be recognizable in both forms, have creative aspects, and lean into Rhea\u2019s love for visual imaging and design. I though about the material I was going to use and applied those into the design elements of the jacket. The different sleeve out of cellophane is for uniqueness, and to symbolize and emphasize the use of one arm in both careers (handing out mail & pointing\/organizing images). The twine bows on that sleeve refer to trends and the way stacks of envelopes are tied up. This jacket is made entirely out of materials I sourced from the mailroom. I got big brown paper packaging to make the form of the jacket. I used thinner brown papers and cardboard from boxes for details. I lined the inside of the jacket, and made the lapels and sleeve cuffs from envelopes. I used envelope twine and packing peanuts for details as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
