I chose to make this puffer jacket (2-6) as my garment for the Final Show.
It has been modified into two pieces: a sleeveless main jacket w/ a magnetically detachable cape.
NIKE Mentorship Project
(2021-2022) This is my Junior year mentorship project sponsored by Michelle Kwak, Technical Appeal Design Director of NIKE Inc.. The goal was to design low-waste collections using up-cycled materials. Each of us was assigned a Nike football jersey and some fabrics scraps. I also looked for some up-cycled clothes from second-hand stores. Using all the elements, I created two separate groups. I was draping, collaging, playing with the style-lines on the jersey, and trying to make details functional, design active looks that are Runway-ready oriented. It was such a valuable opportunity for me to learn how to create sustainable designs and how to minimize the waste during production. I was chosen to be the WINNER of this mentor group, the one out of 20!
