Process
Designing a successful fashion collection requires a thorough and strategic design process. It begins with in-depth research, including trend forecasting from sources such as WGSN that I used, to identify key themes and styles that resonate with the target audience. From there, I moved into ideation, sketching, and sourcing materials to bring my vision to life. I then carried out the prototyping to refine the designs, for which I used Clo3D to cut down on wastage of textile, labor, time, and fittings. Once I was satisfied with the look on Clo3D, I then created a sample fit to ensure they meet the desired aesthetic and functional standards. Through this iterative process, a truly innovative and captivating fashion collection was achieved.
Prototyping
Utilizing cutting-edge technology for prototyping, Clo3D, created all the looks virtually that enabled us to cut down on the fabric consumption for prototyping. The idea was to generate the patterns and samples on Clo3D to reduce the time and resources that goes into prototyping.
Designs
In this collection, a sheer reflection of my inspiration can be seen, that is Kabuki. From the colors, silhouettes, and cuts to motifs.
The collection is made out of various types of sustainable textiles like recycled wool, econyl TM., organic silk, tencel.
Extra attention was given to trims that usually people ignore while producing an outfit like, sewing threads, embroidery thread, sequins, zippers, and lining to make sure they are all eco-friendly and sustainable.
