06 THE GUERRILLA GARDENER Institut Français de la Mode MA Industry Project: BagsGuerrilla Gardeners is a small subculture that protest the
privatization of communal outdoor spaces in our cities by planting flowers and vegetables on land purchased, but not used, by the
government or by private corporations.
It is a non-violent and harmless form of protest, yet it’s illegal and classified as a political action. Therefore, the Guerrilla Gardeners carry out their planting acts at night, to avoid getting caught by the police.
The aim of this project for me is to create a luxurious and functional everyday bag, that can also help the Guerrilla Gardeners to enrich
our cities during broad daylight.
Project developed within a pedagogical partnership with Maison Hermès
with no commercial scope.
