Here is a selection of sketches and early drawing visualisations from my work on Kidswear Autumn/Winter Collection 2015. I really like this stage of the design process as it enables me to brainstorm and explore different ways to communicate ideas and themes for the upcoming collection. It’s also really interesting to see what rough drawings do and don’t get taken on to the next stage to develop into the final product. It’s also a great mental exercise, having to come up with new ways to work in seasonal themes (e.g. weather, holidays, festivals, seasonal clothing and events) and thinking of new activities for the iconic characters to get involved in.
