Light Canvas

Light Canvas was born from the idea of bringing new functionalities to clothes to provide the wearer with new abilities. In a context where skin health isn’t a general concern and overexposure of sunlight is accepted in order to get a tan, this project aims to shed some light on the actual damages UV rays cause to the skin. By designing a capsule collection of clothing that changes to a certain colour when exposed to sunlight, the wearer will be warned before reaching a dangerous exposure time. Not only the actual garments have been designed, but also the way this information is shown on them, and how the collection is communicated, providing with motion a graphic design that you place on the body.

This project was awarded bronze at the 2020 Laus Awards.
