F:Roborg Jakobsen

This tumblr provides an insight into my work, projects and inspiration. I am a product developer with a background in dressmaking, fashion design and clothing technology. I value good craftsmanship and love the tradition and details it involves, still I aim for a modern and timeless aesthetic in my design, constantly trying to push myself to improve and to find innovative solutions. I love to create concepts and follow up on all technical specifications to ensure the best outcome of the product. In depth knowledge of pattern making, a play with seams and techniques influences my work.

old work...

Summer school at Kent State University in Florence, Italy.  (2012)

intesive course in fashion illustration, rendering of fabrics and figurine drawing.

resulting in: designing and illustrating a collection for a chosen italian brand. ( I chose to work with Fendi's design aesthetic)

we were encouraged to go to the shops, experiencing the product first hand. Seeing the craftsmanship, feeling the fabrics, trying on the garments...
