Each project reflects my creative process and ability to draw inspiration from diverse sources, while maintaining a strong design direction.

Manière De Voir
Print Development
Project
CHECKER PRINT PATTERN

This checker print development reflects my creative journey, beginning with the Manière De Voir logo (top left), which I initially placed into a repeat pattern (bottom left). However, I felt something was missing and wasn't fully satisfied with the repeat, so I decided to evolve the design into a checker print style.

 

Drawing inspiration from LV’s denim checker pattern and Sandro’s smaller checker print (center), I incorporated the Manière De Voir logo with a cross line.

 

The final result includes two colorways—sage green, which is featured in their newest collection on the online shop, and coconut brown—blending the brand’s sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic with a bold new design approach.

This outfit features a new checker print pattern in sage green color way, inspired by the brand's online men's spring 25 collection.

The top illustration showcases a button-down jacket with an extra-wide pocket on the left chest, extending from the center front to the side seam, complemented by a Manière De Voir logo patch. Two welt pockets on the sides add a sporty touch to the design.

 

The bottom illustration features wide bermuda shorts, made from the same checker print pattern, with a fitted waistband, two side pockets and welt pockets on the back for added functionality. Both pieces are crafted from 100% cotton, mid heavy weight , making them perfect for a comfortable, stylish spring vibe.

Technical sketches are available if you click the arrow in the picture for further details.

This outfit features a Viscose and Poly blend camp shirt in a coconut brown colorway, a signature hue for the brand. The checker print on the shirt adds a classic yet modern touch, perfect for everyday wear. The shirt is detailed with a chest pocket and a metal logo, offering a subtle branded finish. The color-blocked shoulder and pocket design elevates the shirt, adding a sophisticated and high-end vibe.

 

The bottom features wide wool cargo trousers with a fitted waistband, two side pockets, and two large cargo pockets on the legs, each with a metal logo on the pocket flap. The trousers also include two welt pockets on the backside, creating a polished, high-quality look. This combination perfectly aligns with Manière De Voir's elevated streetwear aesthetic.

Manière De Voir Graphic Tee Project
ART INSPIRED GRAPHIC TEE

This graphic tee 100% cotton, combines iconic artworks, inspired by Manière De Voir’s art piece collection. I’ve blended Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and Hokusai’s The Great Wave, using blue as the dominant color to create a 2D, hand-drawn style graphic that gives off a relaxed streetwear vibe.

 

The front chest features a hand-drawn version of the "Manière De Voir" logo, with a cross-line design adding a playful, childlike touch. On the back, the graphic merges the two great art pieces, with the names of the works and a hand-drawn Eiffel Tower logo to tie into the brand’s identity.

 

To enhance the sporty aesthetic, I’ve added contrast side panels, which I believe would introduce a fresh, energetic element to the Manière De Voir collection.

This graphic can be printed or embroidered to showcase different qualities and finishes.
