holiday seems like such a blur now. i counted at one point, and we'd created over a 100 styles. that seemed like a lot. especially when other people felt overwhelmed with 30. in one category. i loved working in accessories for the diversity. if you got sick of socks, you could always work on scarves for a day. want to learn about leather ? tackle belt design. it was a fun job.
another wallet. after yesterday's dissection, and the resulting husband wallet study. i have decided i like this one better. you might see it in a store next summer.
the second outfit from this project, the idea was a deeply saturated/elements of nature aspect. i was surprised by how many shades of green i found and also how men's is using floral elements on just about any article of clothing.
recently i had the opportunity to interview with a great local company. the project they assigned as part of the interview process was so much fun, i'm sometimes still surprised when it constitutes as work. after a day of shopping, a day of pulling tears, and then a day of sketching ideas (i still had my day job), i had it narrowed down to what i wanted to do. the focus was 2 groups, each with a different feel, and an outfit for each. here are technical sketches for the outfits. although i later found out i was overqualified for the position, i'm still glad for the opportunity. you can see from the golf project to this, my AI skill has progressed. each panel of the shorts has a directional plaid, and i placed bias plaid in the pocket welt.
