Project 1: Typeface-Inspired Fashion Illustrations

Created as part of a fashion sketching course at Parsons School of Design, this project explores the intersection of typography and fashion design. I set out to merge my love for type with fashion illustration by developing three mini collections inspired by the typefaces Fraktur, Baskerville, and Futura. Each illustrated model represents a letter, translating typographic characteristics into silhouette, texture, and attitude.

• Fraktur, a German blackletter typeface, informed a collection with bold, gothic structure.
• Baskerville, an 18th-century transitional serif, inspired refined, elegant forms with classic detailing.
• Futura, a geometric sans serif designed in 1927, led to a modern collection influenced by the clean shapes and visual language of the Bauhaus era.
