Space for Her

Two models. Model on left is wearing a white button down shirt with a gray, jersey harness-style over-layer, featuring a front pocket with embroidered logo. She is also wearing dark gray knee-length wool shorts that feature a patch on the bottom right. Around the hips, shorts have a feature made of light gray jersey that resembles a backpack and straps. The model on right is wearing a navy blue, uniform-style dress that features two box pleats at the front. Over the dress, she is wearing an over

Sailor-collar blouse with top and backpack shorts. Sailor-collar zip-up jacket over uniform dress.

Model is wearing large gray zip-up jacket that fully covers dress worn underneath. The back of the jacket features pockets that resemble a backpack. The pockets all feature a snap closure. The jacket is finished at the hem and bottom of sleeves with gray ribbed knit, which enhancers the garment's fullness in body and sleeves.

Model on left is posed with a cigarette in hand, wearing a white button-down shirt with a top-stitched sailor collar. She is wearing dark gray knee-length wool shorts that feature a patch on the bottom right. Shorts have a layer around the hips made of light gray jersey that resembles a backpack and its straps; this feature has a large logo patch on the front.

Model is wearing oversized gray zip-up with sailor collar. She is facing forward with one hand in jacket pocket. Jacket is zipped all the way up, showing only a bit of the white sailor blouse underneath. Backpack layer of the wool shorts hangs below the hem of the jacket. The shorts have a rectangular patch near the hem of one leg. The jersey fabric of the jacket is the same as the top layer of the shorts, almost like a sweatsuit.

Both models are facing away from the camera, showing their backs and sharing a cigarette. Model on the left wears a white blouse that features a pleat, which extends from the back yoke of the shirt. The back of the wool shorts features a backpack-inspired layer. The model on the right is wearing both the dress and zip-up jacket, but jacket covers almost all of the dress. The pockets on the back of the jacket are closed.

Drawing from my own love of classic girls' school uniforms and collecting things, I created Space for Her for the schoolgirl who is a self-proclaimed collector. I wanted to design a new, charming, and comfortable take on classic uniforms, showing more of the personality and uniqueness of the girl who wears them. This collection includes uniform-inspired basics with pockets that are translated directly from classic backpack designs, giving the wearer space to hold her precious collectibles close.
