2. Emerson st FW/24: Women’s jacket
Design project: step-by-step process
The project consited of creating the pattern for the garment, during
this part of the process, I created multiple drafts of th e front of the
jacket pattern , the back of th e jacket pattern , and the sleeve pat-
terns. After the patterns for the garment were created, I 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: women’s jacket
When brainstorming the technical design of the drawing,
I took inspiration from the architectural design philosophy
that is brutalism. When I took a deeper look into brutal-
ism, I fell in love with the idea of having the attire to match
brutalistic architecture and interior design. I took some of
their basic fundametals and implemeted it into the pattern
blocks: Blunt geometeric forms, blocky apperance, and
prioratizing functionality, honesty, and social purpose.

After I had created the mood board and the technical draw-
ings, we envisioned what the fabric would look like (top right:
image on the left) and what the garment would look like on a
moving body (top right: image on the right). For the image on
the left I 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 I drew out the silhou-
ette of the garment paired with a complementary garment to
better envision how the garment would look in a outfit. For the
image on the right I used copic markers and a sharpie pen to
bring the idea to life.

4. Design Process: sleeveless bodice
Look one of emerson st. FW/24 features a top made out
of silk chiffon in a chic black, the main inspiration behind this
was brutalism. When constructing the pattern (image on
left) I decided to make the silhouette of the garment to be
very square to be cohesiive with the inspiration and other
items in the collection.

The second look of emerson st. FW/24 features an
A-line skirt made out of silk chiffon in a chic black. Like
other peices in the collection, the main inspiration was
brutalism which was taken into account when con-
structing the pattern (top left) and when imagining the
garment in a complete look (above). The pattern was
delibrately made square to create a silhouette that is
cohesive with other garments in the collection.
