STRATEGIC ILLUSIONS PROJECT SPONSORED BY COTTON INCORPORATED
WILD IMPRESSIONS Strategic Illusions is a Cotton Inc. Sponsored collaborative research project that was a part of my exchange semester at Buffalo State College, New York. The goal of this project was to develop engineered garment designs for 100% cotton fabric which were designed specifically to incorporate strategically placed wrinkles or rushing to camouflage the naturally occurring wrinkles on the garment. The outcome incorporated integrated multiple surface design techniques and engineered garment design placement which embrace and/or camouflage the natural wrinkling qualities of cotton fabric. This project will integrate with the overall Buffalo State Runway 8.0 theme, Innovation, which will be held on Saturday May 25, 2015.

LANDSCAPE OF TIME This collection is grounded in the essential with refined neutrals. Pure and modest, it reminds us to go back to the foundation and being at one with earth. Natural textures bring the untouched and untainted look. The crafts used to bring these concepts to realization are Ikat, block prints, and crochet.
