"Moonfall" is my collection designed and completed for my senior collection for my BS in Fashion and Textile Design. The collection was inspired by the video game "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask". The game represents dark themes such as the end of the world, the night sky, and the hero’s journey. I wanted to let these fantasy elements influence the color and styling of my line and create a crossover between fantasy and high fashion. Dramatic but elegant silhouettes crafted in colors alluding to the final battle create dreamlike pieces that will intrigue everyone regardless of whether they are familiar with the story or not, as well as those with an elevated taste for fashion.
"Onna-Bugeisha", or "female warrior" is a concept line for outfits inspired by traditional Japanese men and women's clothing. Each look was named after one of the seven virtues of the Bushido code, and prints designs were inspired by motifs such as cherry blossoms and samurai armor. Natural fabrics similar to the traditional garments such as silk, linen, and cotton would be used. Illustrations were hand sketched, scanned, and refined, colored, and texture mapped in Adobe Photoshop. Flats were created in Adobe Illustrator, and refined and texture mapped in Adobe Photoshop.
