Sanctuary Spring/Summer
Brand Research, Draping, Patternmaking, Garment Construction, Fashion Illustration, Technical Flats
Design Brief: You work as an assistant designer for American Sportswear brand “X,” a clothing company which includes women’s work attire in their product assortment. You must design, pattern, and construct a sleeveless dress with a shift or sheath silhouette that is cohesive with brand X’s image and aesthetic, for their Spring/Summer 2015 collection.
Sportswear dress created for Apparel Design By Draping (FASH324). This project required students to randomly pick a piece of paper with the name of a new designer on it. I selected Sanctuary, and ended up falling in love with the brand. After receiving the brand, research was conducted and a digital design journal was created on Pinterest. Some of the things that were researched were brand aesthetic, brand image, and target customer. Also, research had to be conducted on WGSN forecasted trends for Spring/Summer 2015, and one was selected that fit the brand the best. Next, based on the research, sketches were created and one sketch was selected. Then a muslin drape was created, and a muslin toile was constructed from the drape. After that, patterns were made and altered if needed. Finally, the fashion fabric prototype was constructed.
