Sultry Fantasy: Concept/Trends Fantasy is a growing genre that allows people to escape from the stress of everyday life, like a sultry night. The fantasy genre has dominated the bestsellers lists, movie theatres, and museum exhibits. Fantasy provides an escape from the fast paced days, and fills the void of emotionless communication with nostalgia, surrealism, and a way for self expression. Lingerie and jewelry are categories of women’s fashionthat are purchased for the emotional connection. Women wear both because it makes them feel better about themselves and their beauty. The growing closeness of lingerie as clothing, jewelry, and high embellishment is causing designers to blur the lines of these categories and fuse the different classifications.
Sultry Fantasy is a luxury fantasy collection, fusing lingerie and jewelry, and filling the needs of emotion, nostalgia, and surrealism.

Under the Sea: Concept Children always have a natural instinct to explore with their curiosity in the world around them. Underwater sea worlds give a new area for this exploration. Children are like sponges absorbing information, and enjoy discovering new wonders and animals. They are always collecting treasures; sea treasures, of shells and pebbles brings the young closer to the unknown sea world. The sea gives an inspiration to ruffles, and frills giving the clothing a fluid and textural style. Using Kaledo software to create patterns, wovens and Knits reflecting colors from the darkest blue of the sea to the bright colors of the sea creatures.

Jillian is a young professional currently working her first job at a magazine as the Assistant Art Director. She is very connected to her world through every gadget and technology device she can get her hands on. She loves to spend time in the city and continuously views the world through a camera or a video camera documenting every aspect of her life. Anytime she is seen out and about, her phone will be found in one hand and a camera in the other. To make her style of life easier she is constantly looking for the newest and greatest technology updates, while still keeping fashionable, that have to do with life documentation and social media.

Universal Fit Eyewear: Concept Working with a large industry for eyewear we (myself and two classmates) created solutions to the problems of fit currentlt found in the eyewear industry.
Facial Challenges: The nose shape varies from face to face. In eyewear, the glasses must accomodate width and height to ensure a comfortable fit.
The temple length is a large variant between sexes and races. This needs to be accounted for to ensure the glasses have a perfect fit.
With the United States becoming a melting pot of races and ethnicities it has become a challenge to design a pair of glasses that become a one pair fits all.
The cheeks are mostly a challenge with the Asian population since there is a smaller distance between their nose and cheeks. This means the nose pads must be built up more to sit away from their cheeks.

Betsey Johnson Diffusion Line: Concept Designing a diffusion line for an already established brand. Venturing into a market that could be feasable and work with the brand type, but not one the brand has already established themselves in. I designed a diffusion line based on Betsey Johnson in a new category that fits for her as a designer and as a brand. Compression medicalwear is a large market not completely in the fashion world but could be, with more and more people needing these types of knit compression garments for day to day life. To design a women’s wear line of functional medical wear, with specific focus on compression garments, inspired by the fun, flirty and eclectic personality of Betsy Johnson’s brand.
Betsey Johnson Diffusion Line: Colors/Materials The Spring 2013 line is designed aroung a gradient knit compression fabric and a uniform knit compression fabric with accent/ pieces in silk chiffon cotton jersey knit lace and a twill fabric.
