Fortunately, I got to see the creation of this beautiful collection from start to finish within the same internship, while also getting a chance to shine. For the SS25 collection I joined for the last period which was mainly executing the ideas, while for the FW25 I was trusted with more responsibility during the process.
Because the team loved the "horn aesthetic" from the previous season (see SS25), i was told to draft a pair of woolpants with the same type of horns but not as stiff and firm as the skirt, more flowy and wearable in its totality.
Same principle as the pants and the skirt.
Metal corset with "horn theme". In process.
By then I was assigned to do most of the shapes and forms for this whole collection. Next to metal I worked a lot with foam and made the underconstructions as well as finalizing the pattern used for the foam shapes. These shapes, as well as the metal corsets, would then be covered in fabric.
Reinforceing the shapes and adding shoulderpads so the froms would be stable on the body.
Experiments with cuff shapes.
Working on this shoulder piece. This took more refinement since the shape itself was quite complicated to achieve. It was challanging to get to a smooth finish with concave and convex parts at the same time, while the foam wants to spring back into its original, flat shape.
Finalizing pattern.
Finding the right shoulder/neck pads for stability.
Final form.
Some more examples of shapes I made for the FW25 show.
