Architectural Draping Project:

Graduate draping project where one requirement was to construct an architectural garment that does not represent the natural body silhouette. I used various specially mesh, with plastic boning, to achieve the lift and shape of the garment. Inspired by the ribbon bow's general shape, enlarged and then transposed onto a body.

Autumn 2015 line, Look 1: 

Inspiration: The main inspiration is on a casual punk fashion incorporating knits and plaid. Sweater: A knitted denim color sweater that I did on my knitting machine, then cut and sewed it together. It features a cabled strip in a harness style design. I got the inspiration after seeing some harnesses and noticing that the areas where they extend to can be used for shaping instead of darts. The yarn is an acrylic 2/24 ply yarn and three strands of it, with a twill / speckled denim colored yarn. The cabled sections are done in a similar combination of yarn, but with a solid denim color strand mixed in. Pants: Using the personal slopers I developed, I made a standard fitted plaid pants with pockets that I pattern matched.
