Next Childrenswear Portfolio

Just some of the portfolio pages I have created for my second semester project. I based it around boys little racer wear using cars and car parts as motifs.

I thoughtfully enjoyed this project because I have an interest in cars myself I often draw then as a hobby and I have really developed my skills on illustrator y doing this.

its a shame I only made a portfolio from this project I would of loves to of actually made a garment for this. I was that interested in it.

from this I gained a good feedback and an intern ship in summer through my industry presentation where I presentated this to Tania from Paul Denicci she loves my concept.

Illustrator: Developing My Designs

A few of my developed and final ideas for my little boy collection I have added accessories and the brand name onto certain areas of the illustrations. because it is part of the design.

from doing this project I have donut a new love for illustrator I hated it in my first semester of the second year but I think having a break from it over Christmas really helped to make it more chilled and I’m not stressing over it. and I am very pleased with how these have come out.

Denim Project: Customer Profile.

First Semester Year 2: Customer profiling so finding things that the chosen customer would have in a day to day lifestyle or what they’re like individually…

My customer chosen is very modern rides a motorbike, loves leather and dark denims wears biker jackets and is very empowered and strong. hence why I collaged “leading women’ into the picture to show she’s independent and able to make it by on her own

I chose some places she would shop too. places like diesel and saint Laurent and all saints. Top brands that are very similar in a way of dark washes and the biker/ leather inspiration running through them.

With this customer profiling I found myself wanting to relate and add things in from my personal future reference. I made her to be what I would like to be like.

Denim Project : Final Garment

My Denim Jumpsuit:

Made from Three different coloured Denims for contrast in panelling and white topstitching to add extra detail theres fastenings in different directions. In the picture the poppers are all done up making it whole however there is also a zip going through the waist bans that completely detach and make the garment a two piece to either wear separately or as a whole.

What you can’t see in this picture is that the trousers have a contrast of paneling slightly more blocked than ombre but the inspiration came from grey scaling. I then went on to add rivets in correct places to ensure no wear comes to the garment quickly.

I added inset seams cut away pockets inset pockets and gatherings to the piece to show the skills I have gained. I used curved panels straight panels and harsh cornered seams to make the final piece more exciting.

Initials In Design

Using my initials E , L & R i have produced a few designs. All with functioning zips and pockets. decorative seams and a mixture of three different fabric colours. (black, Calico and black striped calico) i love fitted garments however a little more form to the body is always welcome… as long as its flattering – As seen on my image i have chosen and redrawn my final garment design ready for the creation of flats, cutting pattern and construction.

Getting Technical.

OVERLAPPING SLIGHTLY : We have started another project along side the missoni one for Levi ( Denim project) we have stated bringing in denim to draw and measure

I am slightly obsessed with drawing Technical flats. The denim jacket is definitely the best one i have drawn to date. This kind of mathematics i don’t mind as much. i will keep perfecting my skill of hand drawing flats aswell as starting to find my way with illustrator.

Print Portfolio – Missoni

My final 4. I have added shapes and motifs into the portfolio page to increase the design detail and show what shapes were used and the colours aswell. i feel like by doing this my pages seem more fun and unique. i have used a similar technique to all 4 pages each having its own style by colour.
