FASHION SKETCHES

Mon Jul 14, 03:37 PM by Sylvia

Almost everything is computerized but sketching still seems to be essential to the design process….I sketch (almost) everything and (almost) every day….it’s the first step from the idea to the finished product….

this is an evening coat in black silk organza….I’m imagining lots of volume but almost no weight….an instant drama item….

these are jacket ideas….small and round….a classic blazer….double breasted and sort of military….peter pan fundamentalist….belted wrap….collarless….

sometimes I work backwards and the fashion has to fulfill a need….a grown up and professional dress for an urban summer day….this is a simple sheath dress in organic cotton twill but with an asymetrical neckline and macramae belt….
