For those facing mental health challenges or tough times, finding a physical sense of security can be incredibly difficult. ABComfort reimagines everyday streetwear by designing a specialized hoodie that doubles as a wearable safe haven. When the wearer feels overwhelmed, the jumper dynamically tightens and wraps around them, mimicking the calming, therapeutic pressure of a comforting hug.

To build support and kick off their initiative, the students are organizing a community-wide colour run designed to spread awareness and open up conversations about mental health struggles.
