Cassandra Steele - The Moldy Draw String Bag

Design elements:
Adjustable gathers that are created by the drawstring that runs through the strap of the bag
which alters the length of the bag depending on the wearer's preference.

Anything influencing the way it looks:
These garments are an exploration of mental health that was visually represented by mold.
The folds of the fabric mimic the small, dark spaces that mold is often found in.
The adjustability of the bag mimics the way that mold grows and shrinks over time which
represents how mental health is constantly evolving in a similar way.
