homework 03 / runway analysis
READING THE
RUNWAY.
Taking one runway look apart — and translating it into pieces a real client could wear.
01 / the starting point
sharp shoulder + soft pleats.the tension is the idea.
black / graphite / white
02 / what i notice
Runway feels far away until you find the piece that carries it.
-
01 — silhouette
Structure meets movement.
A strong, built-up shoulder on top and soft pleated volume below. The contrast between the two is what makes the look memorable.
-
02 — colour
Keep it graphic.
Black against white keeps the shape readable from across the room. No extra colour is needed when the silhouette is this clear.
-
03 — translation
One piece, not the whole look.
A sharp black blazer carries the idea into real life — worn with a pleated skirt, or simply with denim on a Monday.
03 / reflection
wear the idea,not the costume.
The exercise taught me to look for the one decision a designer made, and to find the wearable version of it for a client.
