Take a closer look at what inspires Jody below!
What factors played a part in forming your inspiration board?
As I was flipping through magazines, I took note of intricate details, bright colors, and the shape of garments. I kept in mind my theme and how I wanted to incorporate ideas into the dress.
How does your design represent you “as a designer?”
My design features my favorite color: the fun hot coral! The dress as well as the backpack has much attention to detail such as the straps and embroidery.
Have you started thinking about building your team yet -- from marketing and modeling to runway production? Any fun ideas to share?
Yes! I have made the difficult realization that I cannot choose teammates just because of our friendship. I’m really excited to build my team and I am hoping to use some members of our school’s Fashion Club as well as my classmates in Clothing or Fashion Merchandising class! There are some beautiful models at my school, so I’m hoping some of them are willing to be a part of GenNext!
