2018 Junior Soft Studio I: Bag Design
Each student was responsible for researching, designing, and constructing their own unique bag design for a specific customer and market of their choice, using designated fabrics and various support materials, findings & trims. Each student’s development process included trend & style research, competitive shopping analysis, inspiration board development, customer profiling, sketching, paper prototype construction, pattern development, muslin prototypes, and final product creation. Students were expected to heavily document in both writing and with photography their complete design & development process.
