While co-oping at Saturday Knight Ltd, I was the Soft Home Goods Product/Tech/Spec Design Intern where I assisted the Art Director in creating full bath coordinates and end-cap presentations based on trend research. I worked on prints, sketches, spec sheet for the upcoming seasons.
Here is my own project I saw come to life, and was shown at N.Y.C. Textile Market 2013.
While co-oping at SKL I developed trend boards that were also shown at NYC Textile Market 2013. I looked at fashion, room decor, textiles, prints/patterns, and other various inspirational areas. I developed the key trends into 5 categories such as: Ikat Ratio, Modern Chic, Tessellation, Vintage Travels, and Watercolor Florals with an emphasis on key terms associated with each trend. These trends were also used to design into upcoming Spring 2014 collections.
After researching the market I got inspiration for a seasonal end cap targeting 4th of July. It is geared towards the Kmart customer in terms of pricing.
