You may notice this at the bottom of most of my designs in this “designer” portion of the website:

This is my would-be-name for a fashion brand.
and before I dive into the “why” let me show you my brainstorming word-vomit-cloud visualization of the brand.

An interrobang (‽) is a nonstandard and unconventional puncuation mark combining an exclamation mark and a question mark into one. The various uses include ‘stating a question in an excited manner, expressesing excitement, disbelief, or confusion in the form of a question, or asking a rhetorical question.’
That first use stuck with me from a very young age (I first learned about it when I was 8) and I’ve grown to want to embody the idea of keeping people ‘excitedly guessing‘ what I’ll do next. If I were to create a fashion brand I’d want the wearer to feel that same idea.
The designs would put a twist on what’s conventional; street style meets tradionally proffessional clothing items, office attire with COLOR, an interplay between traditional structure of clothing and the fun, whimsy of the creative. It would not be bound by one “genre” of clothing and rather playfully jump between ideas of many subgenres of aesthetic and style.
Will every design in this section embody that? Probably not. This whole site is serving as a brain dump and archive of all my creative projects, not a finely tuned and refined fashion collection, BUT who knows, it could become the basis of something more in the future!
