SOOTHE THE BOTHER, YOU BUSY BODY! DIRECTED BY AMELIA CARLISLE

Amelia Carlisle is based in Naarm, Melbourne, recently completing her Honours in Fashion Design at RMIT University.  Amelia’s graduating project, “Soothe the bother, you busy body”,  is inspired by sensory support devices that help calm overstimulation and anxiety.  

‘Soothe the bother, you busy body’, is inspired by sensory support devices that help calm overstimulation and anxiety. Sensory support is defined as a variety of different equipment, tools and toys that are designed to support a persons sensory system by providing input to one or more of their senses.

The film focuses on how  garments and accessories of this collection are able to be moved, worn and used in these situations and the variety of individual needs. The film aims to  communicate the ease in which sensory support can be integrated into a contemporary fashion context, providing comfort through clothing and a more in  depth consideration of the user experience.
