Structured Jacket

Name: Audrey Brown
Class: DS 153, Fabric and Apparel Structures I, Maria Kurutz
Major: Apparel Design

For the final project in Fabric and Apparel Structures I, the task was to create a jacket inspired by a word. The word I picked was structure and I drew inspiration from a variety of sources ranging from architecture and minimalism to moto jackets and quilts. The jacket I created features contrasting colors on opposing sides, contrast quilted stitching on certain pieces, a high collar, and a strong pleat in the back. My final jacket, being a culmination of just under a semester's worth of sewing experience, is something that represents the word structure well while remaining true to my personal aesthetic.
