Customised Denim Jacket
Inspired by the idea of customising an object or item of clothing, I sourced a second hand denim jacket and created a one-off design.
I combined letters and small symbols in equal measure. I wanted all the elements to be at the same distance from each other to create balanced pattern.
The illustrated elements I chose were a combination of arms/hands (as a symbol of struggle); eyes to symbolise the recent awareness and visibility of the movement; flames/fire to represent women’s empowerment, and finally Female Sign emoji. Flowers, circles, stars and other motifs complete the composition.
Selected color palette:
Before personalising by hand, I prepared the illustration digitally:
Happy with the final illustration I then transferred it onto the denim jacket. Check it out below!
Used materials:
- Waterbased acrylic paint for textile (Vallejo)
- brushes
