cleaner chic

I have recently been given the opportunity to write my own brief for college and i was extremely unsure about what i wanted to choose, so i chose something were i can easily find equipment and materials for textile samples and primary drawings, and i have the opportunity to incorporate life drawing into it, everyday. i choose cleaning! i looked into cleaning uniforms and found pages and pages of the same cos
tumes and finally grasped the fact that there is nothing fashionable about cleaning uniforms.
so i then looked into the physiology of cleaning and realised that most women want to feel like super woman or a domestic goddess when they clean, and  cleaning living space is clearing out mind, interesting!
so im mixing a cleaning chic with barbarella, ill keep you posted on my development.
