This was one of my favorite projects from Image Methodology. It challenged us to identify how style plays a huge role in decisions everyone makes in terms of design and even clothing. We were instructed to read a “preppy manual style guide” that shows what it means to be preppy, and how to look the part. Then we were instructed to come up with a style and identify what it looks like. The first step was research, to find out how society sees the style and how it’s represented in street wear. My partner and I went with Normal core. Initially we thought this would consist of video game T-shirts and old sneakers, but after our initial research, we learned that it consisted of monotone color scheme, and minimal color. We then clashed the style we picked with preppy that was shown in the style guide. This part was not very challenging, because a lot of preppy clothing choices consist of limited color. We went with a mix between laid back and dressed up at the same time, casual.
