Integrated Studio

For this project during week 5-10 I designed a nautical collection. This idea came initially from research of the classic white work shirt. This then progressed into wrinkle and non-wrinkle shirts and then ways that shirts purposefully create wrinkles. Finally I took this idea of creating wrinkles into cinching fabric at the waist or bust line with a rope or bow which lead me to the sailor/nautical idea of sailors knots.
The shirt that I sewed has a sailor collar and a drawstring under the center of the collar to tie all the way around the body in the form of a "wrap" shirt. There is a subtle silver metallic horizontal stripe in the shirt's fabric.
