Fashion Design Portfolio

Wendy Star Lepre

Senior Project

A culmination of what I've learned about digital and physical garment construction.

"Reinvention"

My collection is inspired by the unique visual "eras" my favorite singer/songwriters are able to create through their songs and albums.

VStitcher

Utilization of both digital and physical patternmaking and prototyping to pratice different methods of creation.

Creating a Collection

I created a clothing line, from identifying my target customer to choosing the fabrics for each garment.

Pattern Repeat

An essential Illustrator skill, used to extend the creativity and originality of the collection.

Fashion Illustrations

An art we are losing but it furthers your connection to your work and lets you spend more time with each detail.

Playing all the Parts

This group project required each member to be both the designer and manufacturer.

Shared Vision

Collaboration like this took attention to detail to the next level as our designs floated between each group member.

Three Looks

We ended up with three sample outfits, sketched, patterned, and constructed by a different person.

Planning

An online pattern served as the starting point that I modified with zippers, darts, and panels of sheer mesh.

"Folklore Dresses"

A passion project where I set out to recreate two versions of one of Taylor Swift's many costumes from her Eras Tour.

Learning

This project taught me I can make anything. The magical question I've found is simply, "How is it put together?"

ABOUT ME

Welcome to my official site which showcases my creative journey thus far. I am a fourth year student in Oregon State University's Apparel Design program excited to start exploring careers within this industry.

I am a creative and passionate person who loves to create things and takes great pride in a job well done. Whether I am sewing, sketching, or editing in Adobe or VStitcher, I am always thinking about how my work will benefit others, not just myself. Sustainabilty is also very important to me and I love looking for ways to keep my work green.

Enjoy exploring what I have created so far as a student designer.
