Laurel Sinclair Laurel Sinclair is an aspiring designer from St Thomas, Ontario. She has always been artistic and interested in fashion and design. She originally went to school for graphic design, but found her passion in fashion illustration. This eventually led Laurel to wanting to bring her drawings to life and brought her to studying fashion design. After graduating, she hopes to go into textile design or pattern-making. Soft Memento is based around mixing patterns, colours, shapes and silhouettes. Mixed prints and colours that usually may not go well together are incorporated throughout and end up working due to shapes and other materials. The collection combines different materials not commonly used together to impact the wearer and emphasize certain silhouettes, flattering the wearer’s body. Pastel and bright colours mix and draw attention, while oversized silhouettes made of organza draw the eye. Soft pastels and neutrals balance out the bright patterns and create an overall youthful and harmonic appearance. 28 2019
