The Afters

For my final project in my Apparel Design Mentorship course, I was tasked with creating five unique looks for an original clothing line. These looks were created with nightlife functionality in mind—designed for movement, comfort, and bold self-expression in club environments. Inspired by the gritty, carefree energy of the early 2010s indie sleaze era, the collection channels a mix of grunge, glam, and unapologetic individuality. To ensure the designs met real needs, I conducted field research and surveyed friends about their go-to club looks, style frustrations, and must-have features. Each piece was ideated and illustrated using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva, and Procreate to bring the aesthetic and concept to life.
