DESIGN PROCESS FOR IOU PROJECT COMPETITION
Sketching out my ideas in a croquis sketchbook is my favorite part of the design process. As you can see it was hard to stop! I like to have several fashion croquis templates that I have sketched before hand so my design ideas can just flow. This quick video shows you how I sketch my fashion croquis templates. When I'm working out concepts I try to focus on design, but since I love to draw, sometimes I just can't help but play around with different styles or techniques. Which are your favorites? I personally love the idea of a drawstring madras plaid rucksack in the top left sketch, a close second is the madras plaid motorcycle jacket below.

 Can you tell I was a little into my Chloe high-top wedge sneakers, apparently I drew them on every croquis! |  |
|  If you think of a cute bag, just sketch it, you can figure out all the construction details in your spec. Croquis sketches are an intuitive and freeing process.  Don't forget the accessories! |
IOU PROJECT HANDWOVEN MADRAS PLAID
Usually when I start to design a collection I start with a concept or inspiration and then work my way towards colors and fabrics. In this case, the collection was designed for the IOU Project competition, so I knew the fabric would be a handwoven madras plaid cotton, in colors of their choosing.
