Spring Portfolio

This presentation consists of garments created throughout my senior year. The purpose of these pieces were to incorporate special design techniques and create fashionable ready-to-wear pieces that could be created in other colors and fabrics. All pieces were designed and created by me.

Introduction

This trend research board was created by me from scratch in Adobe Photoshop. The images were attained from WGSN and Google and represent the current trends. The main trends that were found were hi-lo hems, bold color blocking, cropped tops and pants, and patterned/Ombre fabrics. Also included is a color panel from my trend research.
