Whether it is for business, studies or simply leisure, nowadays many of us travel extensively. With the strict one-bag policy reinforced by low-cost airlines, the need for a compact and versatile wardrobe is becoming essential. Carry On Closet is a transeasonal capsule collection of multi-functional pieces that can be worn in countless different ways. A cape becomes a one-shoulder top or a skirt, a dress transforms into a top, a coat unzips into a crop jacket or even a waiscoat. Effortlessly stylish and practical, it all fits in a cabin-size suitcase. Bon voyage!

Carry On Closet is the result of a collaborative project between two students from the London College of Fashion: Renée Lacroix (MA Fashion and the Environment) and Zahra Ash-Harper (MA Entrepreneurship). Together they founded Antithesis, a multi-functional womenswear fashion label with ethical intentions. Since graduating in December, they have been working together on the launch of their first collection, which is planned for Fall 2012.
