Style Right Up Your Aisle

Hey Guys! I'm back and ready to talk about ParsonsxTeenVogue Certificate in Industry Essentials Course 3 Assignment 6. For this assignment, we were to create a mockup of a bag that we designed. Mockups are an inexpensive, taped together, rough draft of a project, in this case a bag. Its purpose is to help the designer figure out snaps and closures and the production instructions for the factory or sample room. I used light cardstock and created a satchel. It has a flap that will be secured by a gold magnetic closure in the finished version. It also has four pockets. They're on the outside front, the outside back, the inside front, and the inside back.

A fit model is a model that is the size of a person that represents the target demographic. So, if you had a plus size line you would have a plus size fit model. For this assignment, we only had to do the pinning. I included a timelapse video of myself doing it be...
