Challenge
Turn a personal point of view on proportion, color, and styling into a cohesive set of looks that could plausibly sell together.
Approach
Sketched and rendered croquis by hand, studying drape, silhouette, and colorways across several categories before refining the strongest looks.
Research
Pulled from runway, vintage, and street references to keep each look grounded in a real, wearable customer.
Creative Direction
Built a consistent illustration language across figure, line weight, and rendering so the collection reads as one hand.
Execution
Rendered final looks in marker and colored pencil, then developed select designs toward finished garments (see the gown at right).
Outcome / What I Learned
An illustrated collection that shows design instinct from first sketch through to a finished garment.
