About the Artist 

Adaptive Apparel

Fashion can and should be customized to meet the needs of people with disabilities. A growing number of high-end fashion brands are rolling out lines that take these clients’ needs into account by positioning seams, zippers, buttons, and the like in areas that are easy to manage. Design fashions that complement all body types and also accommodate mobility devices.

Making Faces

When drawing figures in fashion design, the focus is generally on the garment, so drawing simple faces and hairstyles is common. For example, drawing one eye and a mouth can be enough to indicate expression without worrying about getting the proportions right. That’s not to say that you can’t be more detailed if you like.

Keeping a Sketchbook

Inspiration can strike at any time, and a trusty sketchbook is the best place to capture your brilliant ideas as they happen! Jot down an idea for a reversible jacket or sketch a diagram for a shoe. Maybe the colors in a piece of street art will inspire a quirky graphic tee or a ball gown. Or perhaps you’ll want to create a textures library.

Flatlay Fashions

Creating hand-drawn flatlay fashions—curating all of the wardrobe essentials into one complete look—is a fun way to get the creative juices flowing. The term “flatlay” refers to styling a complete outfit—kind of like you might do when you lay clothing and accessories across the bed to pull together a look.
