Security-focused party wear for the purpose of enhanced personal safety in the urban environment

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.
