TEAM ANDROID HOMME
Roster: Stefan Cristobal, Sese Izurieta-Herrera, Dale Shepard, Lindsey Johnson (CMF)
Today was an exciting day; Suzette took the class as DE was leaving PDX for a couple days. Bright and early, she brought the designers to studio and had a nice set up waiting for us. Personally, I have been waiting to hear her stories and specifically learn from all her experience and material wisdom. Many people don’t realize how crucial CMF’s (colours, materials, and finishes) are in the design process. It is not about drawing nice shoes or having nice ideas, if you choose the wrong CMF’s a nice concept could go in a negative path. Or if you choose the right ones, it may be a hit in the market. It is all collaborative process. Collaborate!
Suzette in action! It’s admirable what she knows and how important she has been for the industry. That’s me testing sleeves. Not my type of colours though. Ariaprene representatives came in the MLab to talk about the wonders we could do with their product(s). Mind opening and great creative feed as we opened our material ideas and sources.-That is it for the day, we have a few sketches due Friday, so it is good to have a good amount of hours to step back and arrange some ideas and keep developing my story. I am sure Suzette has some great material surprises saved for tomorrow. We’ll keep you guys posted.
