THE URBANITE | SENIOR THESIS 2017
A CONTINUATION OF STREETWEAR INFLUENCES AND TAKING ELEMENTS WITHIN A CITY ENVIRONMENT. HARDWARE, TEXT, AND LAYERING ARE KEY ELEMENTS THAT SOLIDIFY THE URBAN DOWNTOWN COOL PERSON. HAND EMBROIDERY IS INTRODUCED AS A PHYSICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE DESIGNERS’ HOMETOWN. DURABLE FABRICS SUCH AS COTTON TWILL, MID-WEIGHT SWEATSHIRT, AND SLICK LEATHER-LIKE MATERIALS ARE USED TO REFLECT AURA.
