Plaid Jacket Project

Fashion Flat Pattern: Plaid Jacket Design

Now that I am a sophomore as a designer we are being to develop 

our design asthetic . So we were challenged to create a kimono jacket. For this project it was similar to my favorite show Project Runway, hint I was a girl version of my homeboy Christian. We were all paired up to learn how to work with other people. The class mission was to design a plaid kimono jacket and all of the plaids had to match, this was the hardest part. I own a lot of garments made of plaid and let me just tell you, I appreciate them so much more. My partner was Meghan Thorne and we both decided on a design of a simple kimono jacket and added a mix-match plaid scarf which was detachable with snaps so it could be worn with or without the scarf.  We worked well together and as you can see we did not have any Keith and Terri moments and completed the jacket successfully. I can not wait to wear this jacket especially since it is starting to get cold lol.

The rest of my peers knocked out the assignment as well. Above are the designs of the other Fashion Design and Apparel Majors at the University of Delaware. The green and yellow plaid jacket was designed and constructed by Jine Takahashi and Lauren Gollicker. They created a mock wrap jacket with a vent and chevron on the back. I love the angled gold buttons, it give it a special pop. The next jacket was created and constructed by Emily Meres, Jackie Zaffarano and Catilin Kane. They created a cowl neck jacket and changed the traditional kimono. The following gray jacket added a Chanel flavor to a kimono, with the collar and fitted style. The last jacket was created my Ashelea Glading and Kelsey Williams who took there jacket into the fall season by adding leather details, toggles and  pom poms. Everyone made it work!!!
