As a thesis project at the London College of Fashion, designer Mijoda Dajomi crafted waxed cotton headpieces that collect and store rainwater. Dajomi also applied a beeswax coating to the fabric provided by Barbour to make it completely waterproof, giving it a leather-like appearance.

The collection of headpieces is titled “Daughters of Rain” and seeks to raise public awareness about the effects of climate change on weather patterns and natural water resources, which are destined to diminish. The project is inspired by a world set in 2085, where water is scarce, and the “Daughters of Rain” emerge as an order akin to lay sisters, serving and quenching the thirst of communities in crisis. The shape of the headpieces is inspired by the attire of lay sisters—women who live in a convent but are not members of the clergy—who dedicate themselves to charity and social causes.
