I found the outfit of this man very interesting because of all the different layers, shapes, textures and colours. I thought about extracting designs from it but I really liked it as it was, so instead I created an look which was a literal interpretation of his outfit, but cleaner, simplified and more refined. I could probably still refine it further, but I feel it would loose the intriguing simplicity of looking like it was just thrown on.
I put my workman inspired dress designs into the collection as I thought they were my strongest designs in this high-neck style. I didn't think the ones which were inspired by tracksuits were very impact full. They were more wearable designs than statement pieces. I chose to include my 'City' logo blazer as it was my favourite out of my blazer designs as it was the most simple yet the most powerful. I chose to layer it over one of my workman inspired dresses to create a contrast between two different kind of City people- a smart office worker and an industrial workman.
Throughout this collection I have used different variations of chunky boots as the footwear. I tend to always draw these kinds of shoes on my illustrations because these are the kind of shoes I usually wear and I like to bring an element of my own personal style identity to my illustrations. However, on my last illustrations I decided to incorporate my 'ugly shoe' design into my collection.
