Thesis (BTech (Fashion Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / This dissertation will focus on a security focused range of ladies clubbing apparel, adapted for the urban lifestyle. The dissertation is based on the theory of the Supermodern Condition and the Supermodern Design Aesthetic, by Marc Auge. I will investigate the topics of street and contact crime and also means of design that incorporate safety measures into contemporary fashion apparel. The aim of this dissertation was to create a range that would allow for the integration of storage for young ladies personal items into their clothing. This range would allow the wearer enhanced mobility and liberate them from cumbersome bags and purses, in an urban clubbing setting. The design inspiration is based on contemporary fashion styling and trends in order to have commercial appeal to the target group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ice hockey facial protectors can decrease overall head acceleration during blunt impacts as well as to identify if attenuation differences exist between visors and cages. Commercial models of three cages and three visors were assessed. Blunt impacts were simulated permitting the measurement of peak accelerations (PA) within the surrogate head form. Results indicated that indeed face protectors in combination with helmets substantially reduced PA during blunt impacts within threshold safety limits (below 300 g's). In general, cages showed lower PA than visors (p=0.004). Differences between models were also observed during repeated impacts and impact site (p=0.0001, p=0.007). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that facial protectors function beyond their role in preventing facial injuries, complementing the role of the helmet in attenuating head deceleration during impact. Consequently, the utilization of facial protectors may reduce the severity and incidence of mTBI.
