Caboodles
The most important part of fashion design, is researching and forecasting trends. Using multiple resources, I developed a wide range of collections for Caboodles. These collections included micro and macro trend breakdowns. each with accompanying color theory, mood boards and pattern designs based on the trend. Once the patterns and colors were finalized, the development of new products and silhouettes, starting with sketches, were translated to factories in China for production. Forecasting was created for an 18-month calendar, then targeted individual retailers – Walmart, Target, Ulta and more – while keeping the integrity of the brand intact.
