Final Fashion Illustration project. The goal was to design a "mini collection" of outfits and accessories. I chose to do a circus theme, inspired by my love of clowns and "over the top" fashion. My senior thesis, Ostentatus, was heavily clown inspired (harlequins and the Carnival of Venice) and it leaked over into my other classes. This project required three outfits, project sketches, and final CADs/flats.
Met Gala Project. Task was to design an original outfit and accessories for a celebrity. We had to keep in mind the celebrity's personal style, outfits they have worn previously, and stay away from styles they would never wear. I chose Lady Gaga based on my personal love for her as well as her previous extravagant outfits. My design inspiration was based in religious iconography, her previous music video "Alejandro" and "Judas", and my personal affinity for dark/horror based design.
Previous Project Moodboards. Creating moodboards was an essential aspect in my fashion illustration class, used to create a cohesive themeĀ and colors.
