“Eve” Zip-up Hoodie

(July 2021). The “Eve” zip-up hoodie was my take on an oversized zip-up hoodie with a little biblical inspiration put into it. Starting with the most notable details, the three women are pretty straight-forward representations of demons, people, and angels. The stacking of designs, as well as the gradual change in color between the three designs, is supposed to be symbolic of the transition between the three types of beings. Emphasizing this point even more is the horns seen on woman on the front of the jacket, the woman on the back of the jacket with a halo, and the woman on the middle with no unique features. Two of other notable details is the customized apple zip and the general placement of the three women. Both are a nod to the biblical narrative of creation with the apple being the fruit people generally agree was eaten and the placement on the ribs being a nod to the creation story of man. This garment would be created out of a medium-heavy weight cotton fabric with color matched, rib knit fabric on the cuffs and bottom hem. The garment would also be double-lined similar to how the YZYGap zip-ups are constructed

One of the improvements I’d like to make to this technical sketch is how the halo overlaps the hood on the back and how the woman overlaps the left pocket on the front. I would go back and re-layer everything so that those items were sent backwards and the garment would be more accurate to the envisioned final product. I would also add ribbing detail to the areas of the garment that need it (i.e. cuffs and bottom hem)
