Edited summer




I edited my item sheet for my summer collection a little, adding text and prints to the collection, its still not perfect, but a step in the right direction.

Negative Space Bubble Skirt

My partner, Allan, and I are creating a collection based on the idea of negative space, shadows and such. This is the one of the skirts that we designed and I created.



We are both very proud of it and have gotten many compliments. The fabrics used were a wool/cotton suiting for the inner pleated skirt and the waistband and an organza for the outer 'globe', as I like to call it. After making up a cost sheet, we only spent $10.75 to create it, but I think it would definitely sell for more than that.

Flaunting the Fifties




This is the next item sheet I created using illustrator, I think I am definitely improving. I really enjoy using illustrator, there are so many things you can do, and it makes making changes so much easier! I am not gifted with many drawing skills, so this program is my savior haha!

Collection Line sheets



I have been taking an Adobe Illustrator class this term and have already learned so much! Its actually really interesting and fun to do. These flats are for my collection. I like them and the background also, although i will have to change them as soon as I figure out how to drop textiles into the garments, especially for the print, it will make them look so much better!
