For the past couple of weeks, I've been purchasing clothes for StitchMix from independent fashion designers. I'm pretty sure it's every girl's dream. Here's a sneak peak of some of the items you'll see in the StitchMix wardrobe.

Ana and Vivien of What Else is There
Drooling over every single piece of work from J Fletcher Design. This guy is genius. (Not to mention that he's done work in the fashion industry which makes me insanely jealous.) From the looks of his project portfolio, he gets all the good gigs in town. ...is it considered theft if you steal someone's portfolio?
I feel slightly vulnerable putting this out on the interwebs, because I know that this completely pales in comparison to any fashion designer's sketches. Even though I feel exceptionally vulnerable, I'm still very excited to show this work for two reasons. First, it's my first attempt at fashion design (if you're wondering, I love it), and second, it is my first attempt at "painting" in Photoshop...ever. While some (most) of the proportions are completely out of control (figure drawing was never my thing), I'm pretty proud of what I have to show.
The goal for this project was to design a logo for a new clothing company, a line of 6 complete outfits, a sample hang-tag, a magazine ad, and a website mockup. Inspired by Shephard Fairey's graphics for the Saks Fifth Avenue Spring marketing campaign, I created a Cold War era, military-style couture company called Die Wacht.
I would love to hear some constructive criticism on any of the pieces showcased here. (Not shown is the dogtag style hang-tag and the other 3 fashion sketches.)
