A coat that transforms into a tent for refugees

Design students at the Royal College of Art have invented a coat that can be turned into a shelter for an adult and a child.

This garment is made of Tyvek, a material which is strong, light and water-resistant and its inside contains pockets which can be used to store documents, phones and money.

The prototype was made by Gabriella Geagea, Anne Sophie Geay, Cassie Buckhart, Eve Hoffmann, Anna Duthie, Jess Wang, Hailey Darling, Zara Ashby, Ruben Van den Bossche, and Giulia Silovy, with the mentoring of clothing brand Wall.
