Designer in Distress
May 2020
Materials: Wool and Elastic
My final project mimics modern designer brand trends in a time of distress. Masks are purposed for functionality and not necessarily looks. My goal was to create a mask for a designer brand that could be functional, yet remind the consumer that they can still live their daily lives in style.
My big idea was to be able to protect yourself while being able to mimic a trend that reminds us of high fashion. I set out to create something fashionable, yet minimalistic and comfortable.
I started with a sweater and cut it into a shape that covered the face. Afterward, I experimented with different patterns and came across Burberry’s check pattern and decided to implement a similar style in which these bigger brands could use.
I ultimately stuck with the Burberry idea, however, I was inspired by other check patterns and fashion brands.
