mijoda dajomi turns headwear into rainwater collection tool to tackle freshwater scarcity

make A fashion statement while protecting the environment

Torrent Guardian, the first prototype of Mijoda Dajomi’s master collection, Daughters of Rain, blends fashion statement with environmental consciousness. Anticipating a future where a pressing water crisis will loom large, the project sees headwear evolved to function as a rainwater collection tool. Through the medium of fashion, the designer addresses the urgent need to conserve our resources by harnessing rainwater while nodding to the need to remain stylish. The innovative hat can thus capture up to 5 liters of rain while being worn.

Somewhat dystopian in style, the work is a tool for combating anticipated freshwater scarcity by harnessing rainwater, highlighting its significance as a sustainable and integral resource. ‘In my vision of our future, fresh water scarcity will be so pronounced that rain transforms into a cherished symbol of precious freshwater. Therefore, I envision rain becoming extremely valuable to us. It will be so precious that whenever it falls, we will all gather outside to capture every single drop of it, in every way possible, including through what we wear on our bodies,’ muses designer Mijoda Dajomi.
