fiona carswell

fiona carswell explores superficiality and disease. these two garments depict the immediate effects of UV light and cigarettes on the wearers body. it's strange how you refuse to admit certain things are bad for you until you SEE them manifest on a superficial level.




This bikini appears normal when not in direct sunlight. When exposed to UV light, however, dark moles begin to appear in various places on the bikini.

This project was part of a series of pieces exploring visceral, reflective design as it relates to the body, behavioral choices, and information displays.









This Smoking Jacket has a built-in pair of lungs on the front. As the wearer smokes, the lungs fill up with the exhaled cigarette smoke and begin to gradually darken over time. This project was a result of exploring viseral, reflective design as it relates to the body, behavioral choices, and information displays.
