Natural Geometry

Hiya!

So the last month ish I have been designing for target..yes THE target. For my Fashion Design class we were suppose to define a "white space" in their store and design a collection around it. The best collection, illustrations and designs would win the competition. I did not win but I think I improved my design and presentation skills so thats still good..haha :p My "white space" was maternity wear. Their maternity section needed some improvements so why not start there. I wanted to design something fun, colorful and lots of target customer friendly patterns. So here is my collection!









I submitted it to behance so if you want to check it our there as well as more art here my portfolio!

Sneak Peek

Herrow Everyone!

Sorry I havn't posted in so long but between midterms..the start of school and that sort of craziness I have been so busy!! Because I havent posted I probably wouldnt post this but to make up for the time lost this is a special big preview of one of the biggest things/projects I am going to be doing this year!! So in Junior year we all compete for the Red Dress Competition by The American Heart Association. Our goal is to make an elegant red dress that we could wear for a gala! I can't give you guys anymore details but here is the basic drape of the dress :D

FIRST collection!!

Hola!

So its the begining of a new school year which means new art projects to show but I completely forgot about the best project I did last year..my collection!! In my pattern making class we had to make out first collection EVER from scratch..that means I designed it all, made all the patterns, picked out fabric and sewed everything myself. It took a while and lots of hard work but I finished it in time and got a good grade!! So first of all we had to make childrens clothes which in a way is easier but also harder..everything is smaller but that also means less sewing. I am not girly and I feel like not all little girls are girly so I wanted to make 2 outfits that were rock and roll inspired. I made a boys outfit and a girls. The boys is a shirt and jean capris, the girls is a dress and a shirt. As you can tell I put lots and lots of zippers on each garment. Each zipper opens to show the color of the zipper underneath. I thought this was a fun rock and roll inspiration for kids who want something playful yet a little edgy. Sorry this blog post is so long but this is definitely the thing I am proud of the most so far!! Also because my teacher did not think I would make the deadline in time and my clothes wouldnt come out exactly right but I worked hard and happily she agreed that I proved her wrong!! So hope you like them!! :D

Selfie?

Ello :D

So when I had my figure drawing class back in freshmen year I actually learned how to draw people and actual faces! So this is my first portrait I have ever done! It is actually based on a picture on facebook. I wanted to start with a basic picture to get my face structure and lighting. For someone who has never been the best drawer..i thought this was pretty good! Hope you like it :D

Spring Awakening

Hiya :D

So last semester I took a general sort of sewing class. I had this project to create a toddler dress. I did do this during the winter because I was so ready for spring as you can tell by the pattern :p This is before my pattern making class so I did not do the pattern but still looks pretty good if I do say so myself :p Hope you guys like it :)


Spring ahead!!

Rock n Roll will Fill your Soul

Ello Everyone!

So as you might be following my blog or not..Photoshop has never really been my friend. Actually recently I have been taking some CAD classes and no computer has exploded..yay :p So our assignment was to create a mood board for a potential collection. I decided to go back to my rock and roll roots and came up with this creation. I'm still trying to get all the shortcuts and all the tools but this is my first sort of piece! enjoy :D


Rock On!!

From a store :p

Herrow :)

So in my fashion class last semester our final project was to make a mens shirt. This is not as easy as it sounds. Of course guys have completely different proportions to what kind of clothes I am used to making. Also if you carefully look at the stitching on a men shirt it is actually sort of intricate depending on the shirt. So I actually made mine for my dad..it was around the holiday season so why no? :p So I wanted to surprise him...and he DEFINITELY was :p So as I presented this shirt I mentioned that it would be a little small. He asked if i could just buy a smaller size for him. At first I was kind of shocked and then

realized he thought I actually bought this shirt for him not made it myself. I just laughed and took this as a huge compliment!! So here it is..enjoy ^_^
