This project required me to explore and research an international menswear designer and design a directional menswear collection extending the existing style and aesthetic of the label while also developing my own aesthetic and design philosophy. The design process involved an intense research phase to conceptualisation, then design development to design realisation. The project is presented with a look book along with the production of one pivotal look, comprising of a 3-piece outfit – jacket, shirt and trousers.
