January 31st, 2017: Starting Project One

Hello all. Welcome to my first post for portfolio class. This collection will be intended for the spring season. The title of the collection is called "Stigma" because the collection is inspired by the "tomboy" customer, or even a girl who wants lingerie that is more modern and functional, less frilly. Aesthetically, this collection is inspired by the details, sleekness, and complexity of automobiles. Underneath, it is intended for a woman who fixes them for a living. Unlike previous collections of mine which have all had a tendency to be girly and glamorous, this one will feature a more distressed aesthetic: burned velvet, ripped tulle, and the final looks being paired with denim and combat boots.
Colors for the most part, I did not want to be cliche and do black and grey simply because it is a tomboy/auto-themed collection. The color palette will be mostly neutrals and nudes, with hints of black, and hints of deep red because I feel red adds some edge. 
Fabrics will consist of lingerie knits, meshes, and cottons. For each of my collections, I feature silks and laces, but I will try to avoid those for this collection. I also plan to use burned velvet, denim, and lambskin, but all in lighter weights since this is a spring collection.
