Inspirations and Concept

Inspired by the multilayered structure of the skin, the concept board illustrates her vision of a garment that not only reflects the wearer's inner self but also celebrates multicultural themes and the universal needs for freedom, esteem, and love.

The initial sketches and 3D renders showcase her innovative approach to design, which culminates in a final jacket that is both a statement of inclusivity and a testament to her commitment to sustainability.

Garment Details and Process:

The garment details reveal a meticulous process of creating a cape or jacket that is as functional as it is expressive. The use of recycled materials, such as plastic bags knitted into wearable art, highlights her dedication to reducing the fashion industry's environmental footprint. The process is documented with sketches and drawings that illustrate the evolution of the design.
