Spring is springing

Spring is around the corner and that means fashion is changing. Color schemes from winter are taking a lighter turn and shape and forms are taking less structure. The current style has been inspired by music festivals and indie trend. But while this style is being sent to stores now, designers are starting to design for Spring '16. Modern structure is coming back and soon available to the consumers. At my mentorship, we're starting to bring out our spring inspiration, color standards, and fabric swatches.

This is some inspiration based on indie music festival that you would've found
in a designer's studio last year when they were making this season' s clothes.

Independent Component 2

Literal

1. I, Malorie Wolfe, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 31 hours and 30 minutes hours of work.
2. A source that helped me out a lot was my mentorship at Kellwood company in the MyMichelle. Watching them put together a line everything month has shown me more than any book or article could. All the people in our department have taught me what really goes in the industry and by using the knowledge they gave me, I was able to make a line of my own.
3. Senior Project Hours
4. For this component, I designed my own line, finding inspiration, sketching garments, and picking out the small details that make a big impact on the physical appearance of the garment.

Interpretive

• Designing a line of my own is a lot of work. I went through the process of designing, following every step and making sure what I produced was attractive, and it took time.Everytime I had to make a decision, I had to think if it would catch my eye as a consumer and I would base my decision off of that.  Here is the product of my findings and work:

8872 - A loose thermal henley (hunter green and plum)

7832 - HIgh waisted denim (hunter green, black, and light blue)

9475 - Layer tunic (black and ivory)

9424 - Swing tunic (hunter green, maroon, floral, and black)

7852 - Low-rise boyfriend jeans (light wash and black)

9488 - Tent dress (black and blush pink)

7829 - Paneled pants (black and navy)

9771 - Small knitted sweater (heathered grey, maroon, and black)

9498 - Loose babydoll dress (blush pink, maroon, and small floral)

Applied

• Designing a line for component 2 helped me put to work all that I have learned from mentorship and from articles I found. Just like professionals in the industry, I had to work with trends and deadlines, while still giving appealing, quality work to would attract the customer. When a design is done well, the consumer will be attracted and want to buy it. By goign through the design process of researching and sketching, I was able to personally go through my answer 1 and solidify my answer.
