A hoodie is a sweatshirt or a
jacket with a hood. Hoodies
often include a muff sewn
onto the lower front, and a
drawstring to adjust the hood

of men's and women's wear
for centuries. The word hood

was first produced by
Champion in the 1930s
and marketed to laborers
working in freezing
temperatures in upstate
New York. The term
hoodie entered popular
usage in the 1990s.
The term celestial body is
as expansive as the entire
universe, both known &
unknown. A celestial body is
any natural body outside of
the Earth’s atmosphere
which includes stars, planets,
constellation & asteroid in
the space. The Kuiper belt
contains many a celestial
body. The Kuiper belt

astronomical units,

small icy bodies , some of

orbits, periodically visiting

The hoodie took off in the 1970s, with several factors
contributing to its success. Hip hop culture developed in
New York City around this time and high fashion also
contributed during this era, as Norma Kamali & other
high-profile designers embraced and glamorized the new
clothing. Most critical to the hoodie's popularity during this
time was its iconic appearance in the blockbuster Rocky
film. At the same time, hoodies started emerging in the
Geek culture when Mark LoGiurato introduced them at
companies such as the Software Bottling Company. The rise
of hoodies with university logos began around this time. By
the 1990s, the hoodie had evolved into a symbol of
isolation, a statement of academic spirit, & several fashion
collections. The association with chavs or neds in the UK
developed around this time, as their popularity rose with
that specific demographic. Young men, often skateboarders
or surfers, sported the hoodie & spread the trend across the
western United States, most significantly in California.
Tommy Hilfiger, Giorgio Armani, & Ralph Lauren used
the hoodie as the primary component for many of their
collections in the 1990s. A crystal-studded hoodie made by
rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs was acquired by the Victoria
& Albert Museum in London.
A star is a huge glowing ball of
hot gas, mainly of Hydrogen &
Helium. The temperature is so
high inn its core that nuclear
fusion occurs, producing energy.
The outward pressure of gas
heated by fusion is balanced by
the inward pull of gravity,
leaving the star in Hydrostatic equilibrium. This
balance of forces lasts for most of a star’s life,
maintaining its steady temperature. Radiation &
convection carry the energy from the core out
through a star’s atmosphere. When the energy gets
high enough in the atmosphere that the region
above it is transparent, it escapes out into space as
light of all wave-lengths as well as stellar wind.
Though stars may appear static, they rotate & vary
in luminosity. There are hundreds of billions of
stars in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. Among them
is sun, the closest star to Earth. There are different
types of constellations in these galaxies as well
that light up the universe & hold a mythical
significance likewise.
A constellation is a group of
stars that forms an imaginary
outline or pattern on the
celestial sphere, typically
representing an animal,
mythological person or creature, god or an inanimate
object. The origins of the earliest constellations likely
go back to prehistory. People used them to relate
stories of their beliefs , experiences , creation or
mythology. Different cultures & countries adopted
their own constellations, some of which lasted into the
early 20th century before today’s constellations were
internationally recognized. The 48 traditional western
constellations are Greek. 12 ancient constellations
belong to the zodiac. Their origin however remains
uncertain. Ancient sky watchers imagined that
prominent arrangements of stars formed patterns
which they associated with particular aspects of nature
& their myths. 12 of these formations lay along the
band of ecliptic & became bases of astrology while
many more prominent ones were named mainly in
Arabic or Latin. Other patterns are called asterisms
are not constellations per se as they are used for
navigation.
1. Leo: Leo is one of the
constellations of the zodiac,
lying between Cancer the crab
to the west and Virgo the
maiden to the east
3. Libra: Libra is a
constellation of the zodiac. Its
name is Latin for weighing
scales, and its symbol is too.
2. Ultraviolet: UV radiation
from auroras (within the optical
window but not visible to
virtually all humans) has been
observed with the requisite
equipment. Ultraviolet auroras
have also been seen on Mars,
Jupiter & Saturn.
3. Green: A high
concentration of atomic
oxygen & higher eye
sensitivity in green make
green auroras the most
common. The excited
molecular nitrogen transfers
energy by colliding to an
oxygen atom radiating it at
green wavelength.
4. Infrared: Infrared
radiation, in wavelengths that
are within the optical
window, is also part of many
auroras.

For the mashup I decided to take the hood part from
hoodies & the pattern inspired from zodiac constellations
& fuse it all on a backpack. The pattern will be made from
motifs which will be developed , generated & inspired
from the constellations while the colour scheme will be
taken from the Northern Lights – Auroras. This project is
an amalgamation of three ideas on one pre existing
content to make something which is fairly new to the
market. I took hoodies, zodiac constellations & Auroras as
my re-content because I personally connect to the subject.
With this fusion I tried to justify the needs of a modern
day student with a busy fast track life.
