About My Thesis:
Childhood is a critical phase in the existence of an individual's life. Therefore, the things we do as children tend to affect our afterlife in terms of our thinking and our way of doing things. This means that the things we miss to do during childhood period affect our behavior as adults. The social system, therefore, caters to the people who missed their childhood due to factors such as poor backgrounds where the parents are unable to provide education for their children due to lack of funds. Compared with adults, Children can act and think freely and are not restricted by cognition and discipline. Courage is very precious. Their thoughts, emotions, and imaginations about things originate from themselves and are not affected by the outside world.
The playful garments tend to act as toys. Through the garments and pieces that we design, we intend to bring back childhood memories considering that they are made such that individuals are able to play with them like toys. While the brand wants to bring the childlike nature back to those who missed it, we also want to give back to those who need it; the children who can still experience a proper childhood. We hope, through the act of play within the garments, we can bring people together, to volunteer and donate to such children who miss their childhood due to a lack of basic things such as education, school supplies, and toys, therefore we make garments and pieces which can attract such a group of individuals.
