FRANKENSTEIN IMP.AD.O

Improvise, adapt & overcome

The jacket explores resilience through adaptability, transforming in response to the evolving needs of daily life. As a multifunctional wearable, it evolves with the user while remaining practical.

Its name, IMP.AD.O—improvise, adapt, overcome—captures the design’s core philosophy. Each transformation trades one function for another while remaining purposeful, and the garment can always return to its original form.

The jacket transforms reveals a backpack, mittens, a crossbody bag, a sling bag, and a tool roll.
