P R O C E S S - Stiffening the jacket

The notion of capturing a  M O M E N T  has been with me for a while, last year I developed moulded leather bras and underwear that was shaped in the form of the female body. This is what I've been trying to achieve with woven/felted suiting fabric. It worked really well but I was also using extremely toxic fabric stiffener that makes pretty much anything like cardboard once it dry.
Using this notion of  MOMENTS  again came to me when watching the "life cycle of the plastic bag" video again, watching how the groceries move round inside the transparent casing that is the bag there is all this change but never a constant. Capturing the  MOMENT  is the concept of a garment that allows movement, change and freedom of the form beneath, but also has an element of which 1 MOMENT has been captured and stays still even though the form beneath moves freely and without restriction.
