Stockport Air-raid shelter
Our new brief is all about sustainability. With this in mind, we have started to look at the current economy and the impact this is having on our need to Make do and mend in our own present economical climate. We are exploring the need to recycle, upcycle and the art of lux-crafting. Our first form of research was to look back at the pro's of WWII. A visit to the air raid shelters in stockport helped us to get a feel for this particular period and the life styles, fashion, colour -palette, textures, materials and rationing that were all so important to the time frame. These are some of the pictures taken from an era frozen in time.
