Capstone Draft Proposal Worksheet

Name: Joshua Lee

Website: maisonjoshualee.weebly.com
Topic: Fashion Design
Strand: Lookbook, Clothing
Inquiry Question: How can I find inspiration to design clothes from the environment around
me?

1) Capstone Project Summary:

In the box below, please type out a 200 – 300 word summary highlighting the key points and
information that you plan to present during your Capstone Project presentation.
I will make a 2023 s/s (spring and summer) season’s lookbook with couple of schematizations of clothing
(7 to 10). Then I will make my own actual clothes. I will design outfits that combine Canada and Korea.
Especially, Vancouver (I will explore myself) and Seoul (based on my memories of Seoul and a little bit of
research). On a schematization, there will be specific explanation of design such as fabric that would be
used, other materials, sizing. I am thinking of making an actual physical lookbook or website. I will draw
schematizations on paper first, and then I will draw it on Procreate which is a digital drawing program.
What I am looking forward to accomplish is making my own collection of clothing and actual clothes.
Through doing this project, I want to improve my understanding of fashion such as design, sewing skills
and textile.

However, I am not perfect with those skills, so I need a little bit of learning.
