I developed floral placement prints applied to silk charmeuse for the slip dress and silk organza for the coat dress (cape), enhancing each silhouette with fabric-specific depth, movement, and translucency.Some images may be cropped. Click on an image to see the full image without cropping.

This project explores the development of chic and sophisticated floral prints for Spring 2026 under the direction of David Meister. Focusing on a color palette that transitions from soft to deep tones, the designs incorporate gradient backgrounds to enhance the visual impact of the florals. The collection emphasizes the use of lightweight silk fabrics such as chiffon, georgette, and organza, with simple garment constructions that highlight the fluidity and elegance of the materials. Through both print development and hands-on draping and sewing techniques, the project investigates how delicate fabrics and refined finishes can be used to reinterpret floral motifs in a modern, effortless way.

To further communicate my vision and demonstrate my curating skills, I transformed my original illustration lineup into an AI-generated runway presentation. By inputting my designs into AI and placing them within a runway stage that reflects the concept, color story, and mood of my collection, I was able to visualize how the garments could exist in a real-world, industry setting. This process allowed me to take my designs beyond illustration and present them in a more immersive and professional context, strengthening the overall storytelling while showcasing my ability to integrate creativity with current technology.

For the FIFA 1904 Mentorship 2026, I explored the intersection of activewear and tailoring, reinterpreting sporty elements into a refined womenswear context. Based on market research and in-store analysis, I developed a more commercial collection for a modern, sophisticated woman who values both functionality and elegance. The designs balance structured tailoring with comfort-driven details, creating garments that feel polished yet wearable. This approach reflects both the project concept and my evolving design identity.

For the FIFA 1904 Mentorship, I developed this lookbook as an elevated progression of my collection, translating hand-drawn illustrations into refined visuals through AI. This process allowed me to present the work in a more finished, industry-ready context, bringing the designs closer to real-world application.

A shift in the Air

This collection explores how fabric weight influences form, experimenting with lightweight and heavyweight materials to observe how silhouettes collapse and hold structure differently. Rooted in zero-waste patternmaking, the initials “J” and “S” are deconstructed and reassembled into a new visual language - “Piece of Portrait”—where sustainability, personal identity, and material behavior come together to shape three-dimensional, architectural silhouettes.

Translating Form: Illustration to 3D RealityJen Shin
This video shows both the first fitting and the final fitting. For the first fitting, I used a fabric with a similar weight to my final material and applied my patterns to refine the proportions and placement of the floral prints. This process allowed me to achieve the desired placement for the final printed garments presented in the final fitting.
