Technical Flats



Here is a preview of some of my technical flats , rendered flats will be added next week to show in detail the fabric choices ! I have explored more into shading flats to make my specifications more self explanatory. Due to my garments being extremely textural i feel i have portrayed my ideas well.

Digital Prints

After research into possible quirky 1950's designs with a neon kitsch twist i came up with some graphic prints, here are some of the best ones below. Adding these prints with the very textural knits and embellishments will give a very kitsch and tongue in cheek 1950s style. 














 After making these patterns i felt that they were 1970 psychedelic than 1950's American Diner and didn't fit my theme quite right, so decided not to use them. 










I had these printed onto woven chiffon and here is a preview of the finished sample sheet
