"Cappucino Break"

The following is a project that I worked on for my flat pattern design class. The goal was to design a cohesive collection of jackets and skirts, and finally create one ensemble. The following are pictures of the jacket I made for the class.

My Target Market:

"This collection will appeal to the woman who likes to indulge in a daily cappuccino. She can spend hours in a café reading a classic novel or just people-watching as long as she has that cup of coffee. She enjoys poetry and art and works at a bookstore or in an art gallery. She lives in the city and enjoys the culture that comes with that lifestyle. She is in her 20s or 30s, but carries a maturity beyond her years. She likes to wear rich, warm colors, just like she likes rich, warm coffee."

The jacket was made out of a silk slub tweed with brown linen piping. The matching skirt (not pictured) has an a-line cut and is made of red linen with brown linen piping and decorative yellow stitching. I was inspired while sketching and drinking a deliciously warm cappucino.
