The project was created for a major eyewear retailer and was designed for Spring of 2015. Inspiration for our eyewear collection is shown above. We rst startedwith a customer analysis and then researched and developed our inspiration, travel in New Zealand. Picking an area of the world and exploring the culture andtraditions led us to the jewel tone color palette and design elements of our collection.
Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you. -Maori Proverb

These eyewear pieces were inspired by the beauty and culture of New Zealand. Elements of design were taken from our editorial pieces (at the top) to create an 18 piececommercial collection. Our group (Allison Latessa, Amy Wells, Elise Devery, Sam Elsbrook, Lindsey Freson, and myself) was the winning team to have our collectionmade for stores of a major eyewear retailer for Spring of 2015.

The rst aspect of this project involved researching trends for Spring/ Summer 2014. I came upon the mega trend Eden and was inspired by the key colors and how they lookedtoward Fauvism art for inspiration. Next, I evolved my consumer and decided to bring attention to the destruction of the rainforest through colors and intricate patterns. WithFauvism art as the basis for my collection and the bright colors this style of art is known for, emotion is provoked through color.
Concept: Destruction in the Rainforest
Every year an area of rainforest the size of New Jersey
is cut down and destroyed. The plants and animals thatused to live in these forests either die or must nd anew forest to call their home.
Inspiration: Fauvism
Fauvists used exaggerated colors when paintingsubjects. In fact, color was the most importantaspect of a Fauvist painting. Resulting in blocks anddashes of colors not seen in nature, jutaposed withother unnatural colors in a frenzy of emotion.

This shows the repeats of my prints made in the Kaledo Print software. The close up of each print shows how my mixed media was used in the creation of the prints. I alsoprovided a complimentary weave that could be used along with the print.

The pictures are of my great grandmother, grandmother, & mother. I found inspiration from each of their weddings and the eras in which they were. Since a wedding is so personal,my concept for this collection was to give the bride an option to combine pieces of a vintage dress into her own wedding dress.

The collection continued. The collection is at a higher price point but for a one of a kind, customized dress, the bride would be willing to pay more.

The rst drawings on the left are my striped fabric drawings. This was a study of light and how it reects off of the fabric. The skull drawing is a still life that involved light and lookingat color differently. The wine glass was a study about reection and shadow. The cast eye was about creating something to appear three-dimensional. The bottom right fabric drawingis a master copy based off of Leonardo Da Vinci.
