Collection Photos...

Shot the collection (sans the jumpsuit that doesn't fit anyone because the body is too small for a person over 6 foot, and since I don't have to fit it to a model anymore that is alright with me). It was shot by my good friend and go-to photographer Elise Lehr. We were inspired by images of the Free Syria Army fighting in the forest.

Senior Pictures...

We had to turn in photos of our work today for a slideshow to be used during graduation. These ones were probably the best representation of my work that I have so far, and work really well together (I could see this being the ad campaign or something). I still have to do a fashion shoot this weekend for the whole collection as soon as I finish those last few pieces.

Line Sheet...

Finally finished my line sheet with the exception of three garments which I haven't finished quite yet!  Still though, it looks pretty slick. Anyone wondering yet why everything says C7C7 on it? It's the name I came up with for my brand. In the very rare and unlikely event that I actually open my own line, it isn't advisable to use your own name right away incase it gets bought out and you loose the rights to it. So, I got the creative juices flowing, and it didn't take long to figure out the perfect option. When people comment on my signature, 80% of the time they say something like "what is that? C7C7?" All my labels have my signature on them, so it says Erik Geiger, but for those not in the know it just looks like C7C7. Cool idea or what?

Anyways, line sheets are what you hand out to buyers when you are selling a collection. It's basically an easy take away thing for them to remember specific garments and specifications. when buyers are running back in forth from trade shows and show rooms they need a little reminder of who you are and what you are selling. Item numbers make ordering easier, materials and colors are listed to give a better idea of the garments (color copies cost more money so usually line sheets are in black and white), the technical drawings give a clear image of what the garment looks like, and the wholesale price is listed so they know what they are buying it for. 

So there ya go. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to order a piece for yourself, I might even give ya a special reduction off of the wholesale price!
