Process:

3. GARMENT Design & Execution

4. COMPLETE Collection

The concept board for this project became the creative catalyst for the entire collection. It seamlessly blends evocative imagery, a carefully curated color palette, and distinctive icons that hint at emerging patterns. Together, these elements embody the rich textures and dynamic spirit inspired by Arizona’s rugged landscape.

  1. Concept Board

During image curation, three key words stood out: “serenity,” “scenic,” and “rustic.” These terms guided the creative direction throughout the entire design process.

Patterns were created in Adobe Illustrator using icons from the concept board.

2. Pattern Making

To establish consecutive pattern sequences, I determined the most optimal garment placement for each Western-inspired icon and refined their scale and contrast to align with the color palette and overall aesthetic of the line.

3. Garment Design & Execution

Garment outlines were digitally drawn from scratch down to every stitch, line detail, and button.

Then, each silhouette was filled in with the coordinating patterns and colors to complete the designated garment.
