Jaclyn Apparel Visual

Before I started working at the company, there was no merchandising or visual message. I developed concepts and produced the displays for their quarterly Market Week presentations. There was a very small budget for each display so I had to use materials on hand, personal items or borrow things from friends. This inspired me to be resourceful by using office supplies, leftover fabric scraps and inexpensive materials in order to bring the displays to life. I also created and managed the Instagram account for the Roudelain label, developed packaging techniques, and assisted the VP of sales.

These are my collections and work throughout my time at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Fashion Department, 2006 to 2010. It was an intensive program with pattern-making, draping, sewing and fashion theory classes. We created our patterns and sewed all garments ourselves.
