*~*`* Senior Thesis: Dream Boys -- Process Pics*'*~*

Dream Boys is a senior thesis collection focused around the idea of teenage love, sex, heartbreak, and how to find a dream boy for forever. In honor of my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary--I'm examing the idea of finding perfection in a boy worth marrying for that long... or at least the perfect wardrobe for that boy. A design professor of mine once asked me, "If you saw a really hot guy wearing your craziest designs ever, and you knew nothing about him, would you go on a date with him if he asked you out?", so this is my attempt for designing clothing for that hottie. 

All of these pieces are just wild versions of tested-true men's wardrobe essentials. All patterns and fits for this collection have been derived from vintage garments I've collected, the pieces I believe a current day dream boy would own today. From Type II denim jackets, a proper pajama shirt, a schott perfecto, to a M-51 fishtail parka, the pieces in this collection are inspired by the one dream boys like Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, and Martin Sheen have already worn and will continue to wear forever. 

I invite you to follow my process below as I finish up my senior collection and shoot my short fashion film and look book *~*~~~ :-)
