Mid-Review_

Every year the seniors are required to have a professional in the fashion industry evaluate or review their final collection for capstone. In the evaluations we are to discuss our concept, fabric choices, silhouettes, costs, and over-all vision for our collection. We are required to do both a mid-review and final review with our choice of professional.

Today I had my mid-review with the director of business development at A.K. Rikk’s, Ben Tobar. I presented to him my collection using the working board I created which includes my mood board, fabric swatches, illustrations and flats of my collection, target market, and competition brands. I also showed him two completed looks that will walk the runway. Ben offered great feedback! We discussed a few possible changes in design to which I will give more thought. We also discussed cost and what my future brand might look like. I am very pleased with our meeting and look forward to continuing working with him! We have a final review set and at that time he will see my whole collection before it hits the runway.

For now I will continue working on my next look, which is a jumpsuit and a jacket. Below are some process photos; very excited for this look!

iNext week’s blog will be coming from Paris; as I will be leaving for Europe next week! I am so incredibly excited and blessed to be partaking in this trip!! Shout out to Pamella Roland DeVos, Lori Faulkner and KCAD for making this amazing trip possible!

jusqu'à la prochaine fois,
