I created a large window display based on the Japanese concept of aging known as Wabi-Sabi. It alludes that there is beauty in aging and broken things. For the display we created plaster/paper mache mannequins meant to show imperfect bodies and the live florals were intended to decay over the time that the display was up. 

In this course we we taught how to edit, crop, and restructure images through Adobe Photoshop and Ilustrator. Our final was to create a collage that aligned with our personal branding. 

This was a project in which we had to create a collage inspired by a fashion Era. I chose to highlight the Renaissance Era with its rich colors and intricate designs. I have also chosen modern styles that replicate silhuoettes or colors from this time. 

Attached is an image from the line sheet that I developed for my product development course. It contained 8 garments with listed style numbers, colorways, fabric content, and wholesale price. 

Above is a faux 6 month plan drafted from a buying course. We practiced operating under sales goals, implementing them in Excel, and creating tables to track expected sales. This is great industry experience that I can take with me into the workplace because of the understanding of a retail calendar and excel skills. 

For each garment created in product development we had to draft SPEC sheets that would be sent to potential fabric mills. These contain all fabric information, care and content information, and trim details. 

For a final project we were asked to illustrate 3 outfits that depicted a historical costume in a modern way. I chose to blend ancient Egyptian fashion with contemporary male attire. Attached is an image of the 3 drawings. 

While developing the fashion show, students were asked to drafted their own poster for the show. Attached is an image of the poster that I had drafted for the ADM 2025 fashion show that took place with Spring. It included pricing details, a tagline, and an image that aligned with the theme.
