Trashion Project

What is the idea behind your design? 

Our idea was do a really fun outfit. We like a lot of bright colors and bold looks, because we knew that I'd be wearing and so it had to pack a punch. We thought that since chip bags come in all sorts of awesome vibrant colors, we'd use them to make a collage-style cool skirt. And then we could do the top a really basic color and focus on cool accents like an eye catching belt and really cool necklaces. It came out pretty cool. 

Who was your partner? How well did you work together? Did you each have specific jobs, or did you work collaboratively on each aspect of your design?

I was partnered with Kasie Stroheker. We worked pretty good as soon as we found the best way to collaborate. We realized that if we worked on the same task at the same time it would go really slow and we'd have too many conflicting ideas that it just wouldn't go well. But when we broke up the tasks, it started to work so much better. We actually started making progress and really getting the project done. So we each had different parts. 

What did you contribute to the success of your design? What was your role?

I drew up our original design, which Kasie and I planned together.  I made the top of the dress, helped with making the underneath skeleton of the skirt, and I made the necklaces for the dress. It was a pretty challenging project, but I am happy with what we accomplished.
