Kendra Martin is a Tennessee native with a passionate and tenacious spirit. Since childhood, she has dreamt of silhouettes, draped materials, and textiles. In her debut Spring Summer ‘18 collection, Kendra actualizes those dreams as she transforms women’s work wear into a dramatic and vibrant experience. Kendra designs for the career woman who desires to look professional and fabulous! Inspired by Spring/Summer themes, most pieces can transition, spanning other seasons. Versatility is especially important to each garment design and its particular accessories. Not only can these garments be worn from season to season, but they can easily translate from weekday to weekend! The Cuban culture in Miami--femininity, transparency, color, and contrasting textures--is central to Kendra’s inspiration. Every garment has a story, and its evolution has an intentional narrative in mind. Original Tropical and Floral prints, the designer’s own creations, are aesthetically paired with stretch velvet, satin, chiffon and Faille textiles. Intricate draping, pleating, and couture techniques embrace the natural curves of a woman’s body and conceptualize the vibrant female spirit. The Ken.drama woman celebrates every moment and lights up every room!

My consumer research in preparation for my debut SS18 collection.
My target customer has a passion for culture, color, and business. She needs bold, elegant, and versatile fashions, due to her busy lifestyle! I wanted to bring color and print to my customer's closet, taking inspiration from the Cuban culture in Miami.
This board represents some details that I wanted to incorporate in my collection including versatile fabrics, satin, pleating, and hand illustrated textile prints (bottom right.)
These illustrations were realized using Illustrator and Adobe Draw. I designed two original textile prints that were utilized: Saydee Rose Print and Saydee Springs Print.
