The Ask ❦
For my CLO3D final presentation, I was asked to create a cohesive slide deck that showcases the work I completed over the semester, including persona development, sources of inspiration, and garment exploration with typical styles, fabrics, trims, and closures. It also features my finalized color story, prints, and materials. The presentation needed to maintain consistent branding through text, color, and graphics, present professional and polished visuals, and clearly communicate my perspective on “The Future of Fashion is…”.
The Process
My process for the CLO3D final project was hands-on and sequential. I started by learning how to use CLO, then developed detailed customer personas and gathered inspiration to guide my designs. I created a cohesive color palette, selected influencers to represent the brand, and built a slide deck to visually communicate my ideas. Finally, I designed and refined garments in CLO and produced a video to showcase the final pieces, ensuring that all elements were connected and presented professionally.
-
I began by building foundational skills in CLO, learning how to construct, fit, and visualize garments digitally.
-
I developed detailed customer personas to define who I was designing for and guide every creative decision moving forward.
-
Using the CLO-SET store, I utilized free patterns to create digital garments that reflected the brand’s aesthetic to bring my concept to life.

Trend & Inspiration Research
Through this project, I learned how to translate a concept into a full visual narrative, from initial inspiration to final garments. I discovered the value of designing with a clearly defined customer in mind and gained confidence using CLO3D to refine fit, fabrics, and silhouette. I also realized how color, branding, and presentation shape the emotional impact of a collection and how consistency across visuals strengthens the story behind the design.
