Anchored by research into hostile architecture and counter-terrorism tactics, CONTINGENCY PLAN employs the material language implemented within the uniforms of private security and military forces.


The patchwork construction alludes to the desperate, DIY methodologies of modern insurgency, whilst the concealed patternmaking speaks to a legacy of fashions ability to negate/identify creed and/or ideological alignment.
