Ideation

Preformance,
Transparency, 
Electric Future,
A Fashion Statement.


This is my first time trying to sketch clothes, constantly looking for inspirations in the fashion industry for inspiration. I realized how much I was missing outside the product design world the during the process. The art direction and imagery spoke ideas and emotion to me and now I look at fashion as an inspiration when I render and compose my imagery.


Vizualization

Photobashing with Digital Assets



The last phase before going into CLO was me trying to piece together what these garments would look like visually. Photo bashing allows me to bypass sketching garments (that slowed down the process) and create higher fidelity visual mock ups to communicate my vision.

The left 2 versions are pushing the timeline too far into the future that didn’t suit the brief.



CLO

Real-Time Simulating AI Vector Patterns 


CLO is surprisingly intuitive and easy to use, starting off with basic patterns, I was able to cut, re-draw and adjust parts of the garment with ease, while moving quickly with iterations.
