Spinning in Sunflowers

Designed for the 2019 AATCC Concept to Consumer Design Competition, Spinning in Sunflowers is a collection of water repellent clothing for color guard. Color guard is a visual representation of the storyline of the music marching bands play. The activity includes dancing and spinning flags, rifles, and sabres while outdoors to accompany the marching band.  Inspired by sunflowers, this collection serves to make spinning a flag in the rain a more enjoyable and achievable activity. Allison also designed the two sunflower prints using hand drawing and photoshop.

David Bowie Meets Jackson Pollock

This collection was inspired by a trip Allison took to New York. She visited the David Bowie exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum and viewed Jackson Pollock's paintings at the MET. The illustrations are a mashup of  David Bowie's fashion mixed with the artistic style of Jackson Pollock.

Lavender

The concept for this collection is the plant lavender. The color palate and textile design patterns were inspired by the structure and colors of lavender. Inspiration for silhouettes was taken from the calming and relaxing smell of the plant.

Vermont Counterpoint

This collection developed out of a collaboration between Allison and Flute Performer Mady Steffen. It is inspired by the musical piece Vermont Counterpoint by Steve Reich. Vermont Counterpoint is a minimalist piece created by layering of piccolo, flute, and alto flute parts. Allison designed a fall collection with minimalism and layering in mind. Mady performed Vermont Counterpoint while a time lapse of the creation of Allison's collection played in the background.

Melting

This collection is about how as time goes on, glaciers are melting. The designs start by having sharp edges and contain geometric shapes. As they progress from left to right, the designs have softer edges and look as though they are melting.
