shĪr | designer coats & accessories

materials spawned from a crop circle

what a fun project! this was definitely an exercise in "concept". i learned that the final product/solution is not and should not be your first instinct. who knew that coats, scarves, and ties could be related to crop circles. but, here it is--a posh retail space inspired solely from crop circles.

of course, i'm all for keeping it simple and clean (and straight), so the whole 'circle' idea kinda threw me at first. my remedy was to 'go big' with the circular forms such that they would be a little more manageable as well as create an interesting retail space along the way. the materials, textures, and colors are inspired from nature--specifically the wheat fields of southern England where most crop circles are made. i took the idea a step further and decided on a British name and British fashion designers for the merchandise. nearly all finishes and furniture in the space is custom, excluding the sisal carpet.
