Fashion Illustration & technical Design

I love to teach classes using a project based approach. For a level two course focused on technical design for fashion using Adobe Creative Suite, students had to choose a fictional client and create a portfolio that featured mood boards, color/fabric stories, and flats. We discussed the process of sourcing inspiration, working with a client, creating a cohesive ‘brand identity’, crafting digital swatches, developing color palettes, creating dimensional flats, and digitizing sketches.

Below is a sample portfolio created for this class. Click images to zoom in.

For a course on costume design, I led students in developing costume concepts to reinterpret classics in a modern, fashion forward way. Below is a sample concept created for this class.
