CVF - Final Challenge (3 Piece Men's Suit + Women's Gown)

For Collective Vision Fashion's (CVF) season 1 virtual design challenge I was able to make it to the finale stage where I was tasked to complete a 3 piece men's suit. I designed a Blazer, Pant, and Vest. My favorite part about the suit was the hand embroidery on the blazer and vest (see in the images below). Along with the men's suit, there was a curveball challenge added to this which was to design a dress/gown to pair with the men's suit. I also hand embroidered on this piece. 

While I did not take 1st place, I definitely came in close second, and really enjoyed pushing myself to try making men's clothes. I couldn't have done it without the love and support of my family. Please enjoy the photos below!
