A Central Saint Martins project that “reimagines wearables as planetary technologies” is being presented to the public through a series of window installations at John Lewis Oxford Street, London, until the end of April.

Earthsuits explores how garments and materials can support navigation, communication and survival on a changing planet Earth and were developed by postgraduate students across Central Saint Martins courses, including MA Industrial Design, MA Narrative Environments, MA Material Futures, MA Design for Industry 5.0 and MA Biodesign. 

Designs include a bioluminescent swimsuit sustained by sunlight, a circular dye system for denim, gait-altering footwear and site-responsive outerwear.
