About You – HYPEWEAR

+ Client Work+ 2 Months+ 2022

ABOUT YOU approached me to design a digital garment capsule for HYPEWEAR, their virtual fashion platform aimed at making digital style accessible and bridging physical and digital fashion within the metaverse.

Challenge

Create an eyecatching, genderless capsule collection that reflects HYPEWEAR’s futuristic vision while appealing to a broad audience of digital fashion consumers.

Solution

Conceptualized three genderless pieces in Photoshop, then built and simulated the garments in CLO for a realistic fit and drape. Rendered the looks in Cinema4D Redshift to create visuals that promoted the drop and gave the client several clear perspectives of each piece.

Results

Delivered a digital capsule ready for wear in virtual environments and released on HYPEWEAR’s online platform, where users could purchase and style the pieces within their digital wardrobes.
