Here is a selection of my work from my final second year design project. We were given a high end designer which we had to research into and then use this to design a new collection for SS17. I was given Dries Van Noten as my designer which I really enjoyed as I love his boldness and creativity and thought it was a really fun and interesting brand to design for.
These are my initial research pages including trend research, customer profile and fabric direction.
From this I began to work on designing each product group towards this trend and with my chosen fabric direction in mind. Throughout my work I like to use a mixture of both CAD and hand drawn designs. Below I have included a selection of my designs from each product category.
Outerwear:
Tops:
Trousers:
I also experimented with different embroidery techniques as this is something Dries Van Noten uses quite frequently in his work.
Once I was done with the design process I then went onto illustrate the collection - for this I experimented with both CAD and hand drawn techniques to see which outcome I preferred.
Here are my finished illustrations with an overview of the final collection.
