Design Description

Our design ‘stop! for peats sake’ is inspired by a ballet and black swan silhouette with an Irish twist. We were also inspired by own local bog lands and that over time they’ve been exploited, Our Peatlands may shrink significantly as a result of climate change. we used an umbrella as a symbol of protection against climate change, showing that we need to protect our earth, we made our dress as a symbol of protest in efforts to make a change. For Peats sake everyone we need to consider the effect of rising temperatures and changing rain patterns!
