I worked with Vakko New York as a freelance designer for a four month leather design project. It was heavily involved use Illustrator sketch flats and design art works for leather cut-outs.
Spring / Summer Collection My inspiration in this collection was basket weaving. I was inspired by the texture of woven bamboo artifacts. The colors are neutral. The style is simple and organic. Designs: 3D Samples:
Fall / Winter collection For this line I took my inspiration from a Japanese sculptor named Katsuyo Aoki, for one of my collections. Aoki uses porcelain to create a series of skull shaped works. The silhouette is inspired by forty’s Hollywood star’s look. In this collection I used silk jacquard, velvet, stingray skin, lace and knitting as the martial I combine with bedding. I researched vantage clothing. I also found some vantage Indian material as reference. I choose off white, black, and navy blue as my colors, as they are simple, and elegant. The result turned out delicate, expensive, and sophisticated, and fit my inspiration well. Fabric: Designs: Samples:
