Addendum Couture Project

Inspired by some of my past favorite runways, I designed completely new ensembles that share the same DNA as said runways.

Process:

I started by creating mood boards and breaking down the DNA of the runways while observing. Then, I quickly sketched 8 ideas out, my favorite 3 being transformed into cleaned up sketch croquis.

Learning Outcomes:

This project allowed me to really developed my style and solidify my process; while developing an art style that allows for quick design and illustrative development without looking rushed.
