Design ThesisThe age of my client is between the ages of 20 and 26. She knows who

she is and surrounds herself with positive people. She has a career that she loves and her career also gives her some creative ability to dress in a futuristic and stylish demeanor.

She lives in the city and whether it is in the United States or Europe and her wardrobe fits wherever her life takes her. She is a single woman who likes to make a statement every time she steps out of the door.

She is someone who turns to black as a staple color in her wardrobe. This collection’s color pallet will lean more towards black and grey and other dark colors.

This collection will reflect the glamour of performance and the structure of a military inspiration. They have been created to be worn to special events such as Friday night at the club, Saturday date night, a birthday celebration, New Year’s Eve, a work function, or even Halloween.

The details on these outfits are strategically placed to bring the viewers eye through the outfit, like a work of art. Non-functioning and functioning zippers will help to create an edgy, yet classy vibe to the line.

Accessories such as ties, neck bands, collars, leather gloves, and pill box hats will give my client the confidence to walk out the door knowing her outfit will be admired by all.
