Jaedyn BlackGranite City, Illinois A Grand Day at the Prix

A Grand Day at the Prix is based on my personal experience attending the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix and how inspired I felt during the race. The shapes of the garments were inspired by the drivers and mechanics, and the details and colors were drawn directly from the sport in some way, shape, or form. This collection takes a new look at fan wear for Formula 1 racing.

Pirouette is a collection about making your younger self happy, rediscovering old passions and hobbies we had as kids through an adult perspective. These looks are inspired by the silhouettes and fabrics of the ballet, and Copenhagen Fashion Week with a combination of cotton, tulle, lace, and knit fabrics. Pirouette is for the person who is in touch with their younger self, who likes to dress youthfully but with a modern and mature twist. This collection is about making our younger selves happy with who we have become and where we are going.

Bloom is a collection of elegant pieces for the professional woman who wants to exude confidence and elegance. With details such as bows and flowers, it has a youthful, exciting approach to career wear that can be styled with traditional suiting that can also be worn at any special event. A woman who wears this collection isn't scared to attract attention and wishes to leave a lasting impression.

Fantasie is a collection with the goal to promote a balance of elegance and gaiety to people of all ages, as a lifelong practice. Encouraging people to stay playful while growing and going through different parts of life, my goal is to make these pieces timeless to the consumers and their evolving phases while staying true to their youthful roots.

Organized Chaos promotes clothing identity that is not restricted by social norms. In honor of my own experimental style journey, this collection targets the needs of a demographic seeking clothing that encourages authenticity.  Seratonin dressing is for individuals who want pieces that brighten their day and for the joy of others. People who risk being judged for the happiness and acceptance of themselves and others.

The Gossip Rush collection draws inspiration from the band Måneskin, weaving their essence into performance and editorial attire. Måneskin's individual styles and my personal flair converge, resulting in a harmonious blend of uniqueness. The band's Danish name, "Måneskin," meaning moonlight, inspired fabric choices with shimmering elements that resonate under stage lights. The silhouettes strike a balance between form-fitting and relaxed, highlighting the performers and artists.

1999 (Deuteranomaly) is a color inclusive clothing for the colorblind. The spring/summer collection includes interchangeable garments that allows the wearer to mix up their wardrobe with any of the pieces. The color inclusive pallet eases the mind of the wearer as they are able to see the colors the same as everyone else. 1999 is inspired by my older brother and his move to Los Angeles, the business casual silhouettes representing his point in life as a man in his mid-twenties.

Dreamscapes is a collection for women who have PICC or mid-line catheters to help them transcend the reality of sickness and inspire perseverance in the direction of their dreams. The concept of the collection is rooted in the belief that the dreams of a person’s heart are what serve as a heavenly light through times of struggle. Rooted in ethereal escapism, Dreamscapes is compassionately made to blend catheters into comfortable formalwear and to foster a spirit of faith. Through innovative design, the collection centers around transcendence, renewal, and hope.

TakeOut T1D is a modern take on medically accessible clothes specifically engineered for people who have Type 1 Diabetes. This line of clothing aims to make the wearer confident in their skin, while also tackling issues they face throughout their everyday life. After being close with a family member who has been diagnosed since 2004, this has served as my inspiration and purpose for TakeOut T1D.

Midnight Meeting combines classic office wear such as blazers, button downs, and pencil skirts with romantic, edgy, and gothic elements to create a versatile capsule wardrobe with pieces that appeal to alternative fashion lovers who also need professional work attire. I believe that no one should have to sacrifice their personal style in order to be taken seriously in their career. People should be able to wear clothing that expresses their personality and makes them feel confident.

Always and Forever strives to honor and celebrate the essence of feminine freedom. Each piece is designed to cater to women who suffer from contact dermatitis while being universally wearable for any bride. The designs reference the soft silhouettes of the romantic era without the bounds of confinement that women have experienced throughout history.

Standing on the Shore is a retro-futuristic collection targeting people susceptible to skin cancer. I was inspired by my father, who has dealt with reoccurring skin cancer cells throughout his life. Standing on the Shore uses UPF protective neoprene fabric along with closures to give the wearer the option to raise or lower the garment for added protection depending on the environment. By incorporating flashy coverings and futuristic adaptations to clothing, I was able to create a collection for women who need protection from UV rays.

Comfort Core is dedicated to cultivating an oasis of serenity and mindfulness, tailor-made for the neurodivergent community. I’m a firm believer that fashion should blend beauty with practicality, catering to the unique needs of the individual. Drawing from my own experiences with ADD and anxiety, as well as my cherished relationships with neurodivergent friends and family, this collection is an outlet not just for me, but for those I hold dear.

Color Theory explores the use of color for those born with color blindness. My collection incorporates color identifying labels inside of the garment to aid the wearer in matching pieces without frustration. Using blue, red, and green, each garment in this men’s collection matches with one another. In a fully realized version of this collection, the garments are labeled in a system that aligns with an app that would communicate how the clothing matches garments from pieces in other seasons.

A Girl’s World combines mystery and function to create a sleek, city-girl look. Donning a piece from this collection allows the wearer to be free of the hindrance of always carrying a heavy purse. Heavy Purse Syndrome is a problem stemming from wearing a purse that causes back and shoulder problems. The sizable pockets on each piece relieve the weight put on women's shoulders from the constant carrying of purses. Wearing a piece from this collection allows women to carry their essentials on their bodies, distributing the weight more evenly, rather than in a heavy bag.

Dynamic Dysmorphia is an eveningwear collection inspired by the mental illness body dysmorphic disorder. A person experiencing this may hyper fixate on perceived flaws which can cause significant distress impacting their ability to function in daily life. So, to help people cope with this disorder, I wanted to translate insecurities into fashionable clothing from acne, body hair, stomach and arm size.  My collection aims to enhance awareness of body dysmorphic disorder and represent different “flaws” in a positive light.

Delicate Wings is the meeting place of beauty and comfort. My family has a history of hypothyroidism and I grew up around my family members saying how they wanted to have more of an elevated wardrobe but would default to “comfortable” options due the condition making it uncomfortable to wear anything that was tight or made of synthetic materials. I want to not only bring awareness to this condition that affects millions, but to show people fashion does not mean sacrificing comfort, that you are beautiful no matter how you feel.

Prismatic Patchwork is about bringing magic into a world of medicine, tubes, and check-ups.  Children facing medical issues needs their clothing to be accessible and functional. I believe that apparel can be practical and playful and the two can dance through a fairy dreamland together. My own memories of playing dress up as a child and the unmet need for medically accessible dress-up clothes were interwound to create Prismatic Patchwork to spark magic in a child’s world.

Subsize is a solution for petite individuals and eliminating the stereotypes associated with it. As a college student who personally experiences the challenges of shopping for those who are vertically challenged, I have designed this collection with a focus on inclusivity, ensuring that it caters to both men and women with a masculine emphasis drawing inspiration from the 1940's and 50's military wear.  With a commitment to natural fibers and a neutral color palette, Subsize not only offers trendy and stylish clothing options but also reflects maturity and sophistication.
