Designer sneak peak

As fashion lovers, we are in full support and embrace creative, local talent. Good friend of JuMo and clothing designer, Derrick Greene is in preparation to launch his first-ever couture line called HueGreene.

As Hue Greene already has creative and meaningful t-shirt designs available, Greene, as the CEO and head creative, is working diligently on his designs to launch the couture line in spring of 2011.

We have for you a sneak peak at two of his sketches. Trust us! After having the opportunity to take a tour of the HueGreene sketch book, this collection will be a hot commodity once released!

Greene’s sketches and descriptions of the garments:

This is the first design ever made for the clothing line! It is a light weight jacket with ultra suede fabric on the outside and the inside opens to reveal a red lining. The material of the jacket is a caramel brown, ultra suede fabric, while the collar is a polyester cotton blend. To create a vintage feel, I chose to add elbow patches. These too, are the caramel brown color. The jacket also has very low front pockets along with flaps to close the pocket.



The second design is a lace up dress that ties at the right side. The fabric is a stretchy silk with boning in the bust area for a stiff, form-fitting look from the breast up. This design was inspired by blowing bubbles, and seeing a few of them go in various directions. I was also inspired by watching them float together and combining to make an even bigger bubble. The holes for the string will be golden/brass. The fabric of the dress is a lightweight silk/Spandex material.



Each design has a different vibe and unique structure to it based upon what I saw throughout my day’s work.
