Nordstrom Mentorship from Junior Year

This Mentorship with Marcus Brown from Nordstrom's was more of an Ethic/Global assignment. The designs below were influenced by traditional Mongol and Russian garb.

The images above are from the Otis Jury show, not the actual end of the year Scholarship show. The outfit did make it into the scholarship show though =).

I also apologize for the unneccessary layering in some of the sketches below. I didn't want to put them in but the line was supposed to be for winter...so they made me.

The collar part of the jacket below is a slubby reddish/purple yarn.

The patterns used here and in the first sketch are sampled from Mongol tribal patterns. They're being stitched into the padded flannel jacket pictured below.

I really, really wanted to re-upholster a pair of boots to make the corduroy fringe boots pictured in the illustrations...but since my major's focus is apparel... I didn't get to (plus I also didn't really have the time). Maybe one day I will though..

I love this jacket below. Too bad it wasn't chosen.

The vest below is also made of that slubby reddish/purple yarn. And I don't really like the turtleneck, but I did do a nice ombre dip dye treatment of the fabric. I should post that up too.
