Description

Kosuke Tsumura was born in Japan in 1959. He joined the Miyake Design Studio in 1983 for a decade. During his career he presented his work in eight different moments and won numerous awards. In 1994 Tsumura presented this survival jacket. The first name that was given to this particular garment was “FINAL HOME”; later it became its brand name. Tsumura wondered himself “If I lose my home due to a disaster, war, unemployment, etc…What kind of clothes can I propose as a fashion designer?”. Designed to be a wearable shelter, this parka features 44 pockets designed to store food, medicine and tools. If weather gets cold, the pockets can be filled with newspaper or any other insulating material. All the pockets can also be accommodated with down cushions, transforming the Final Home parka into a down jacket. The parka is made to suit any body shape by simply filling certain pockets with extra materials to provide fitted look.
