Multifunctional outfit transforms into fully functional camping tent, conceived as both protective apparel and emergency shelter.

Shelter Wear designed by Yoon Myat Su Lin originates from a personal memory of experiencing an earthquake in Myanmar, where widespread displacement left many without safe housing.

In its worn form, it resembles a sleeveless outer vest with a high protective collar, structured panels, and a utilitarian design.

When fully deployed, the garment expands outward into a wide, triangular tent form, creating a protective shell around the body.

Constructed to convert from wearable form into a camping tent, providing immediate shelter when needed.

Sleeves are engineered to function as backpacks, enabling the wearer to carry essential belongings and reinforcing mobility in crisis situations.

When help is delayed and people must rely on what they already have. Shelter made for first hours after disaster, when protection matters most.

Shelter Wear reframes clothing as infrastructure. When buildings collapse, garments remain. This piece treats the body as a moving site of refuge.

Shelter Wear transforms from clothing into a tent, offering immediate protection when safety disappears.

Human body becomes the first architecture, carrying shelter wherever it goes.

Shelter Wear stands as both a practical solution for emergency contexts and a symbolic gesture of solidarity with vulnerable communities.
