2. Emerson st FW/24: Women’s jacket
Design project
The project consited of creating the pattern for the garment,
during this part of the process, we created mulptiple drafts of th e
front of the jacket pattern , the back of th e jacket pattern , and the
sleeve patterns. After the patterns for the garment were created,
we then aligned them onto the fabric. This part of the process
included folding the fabric to make clones of the front patterns,
and makign sure to keep the twill cohesive thoughout the whole
garment. The next step of creating the garment was applying
sewing to each pattern peice to construct the garment. Some of
the sewing seam techniques included: clean finish, french seams,
top seams, and hand sewing the buttons together.

3. Design Process
Emerson st FW/24: Women’s jacket
When brainstorming the technical design of the drawing, we took
inspiration from the architectural design philosophy that is brutalism.
When we took a deeper look into brutalism, we fell in love with the
idea of having the attire to match brutalistic architecture and interior
design. We took some of their basic fundametals and implemeted it
into our technical drawings: Blunt geometeric forms, blocky apper-
ance, and prioratizing functionality, honesty, and social purpose.
Design inspiration: Brutalism Design process: technical drawings and fashion illustrationing
After we had created the mood board and the technical drawings,
we envisioned what the fabric would look like (image on the left) and
what the garment would look like on a moving body (image on the
right). For the image on the left we chose our fabric and inserted the
fabric into a fashion illustration of the sillhouette to get a better idea
of how the fabric would look. For the image on the right we drew out
the silhouette of the garment paired with a complementary garment
to better envision how the garment would look in a outfit. For the im-
age on the right we used copic markers and a sharpie pen to bring
the idea to life.
