RESEARCH & PROTOTYPING
ABOUT
Before starting the project I have done the research to understand the traditions and find how to make gowns with AALTO University DNA.
MY ROLE
The gown was developed in collaboration with the colleague I worked on the project with.
I worked on all steps of gown development, from inspiration to implementation. Inspiration, sketches and prototypes presented below were made and designed by me.
INSPIRATION
Inspiration comes from old UK and US universities, where tradition came from in combination with iconic objects designed by Alvar Aalto - the world famous architect, in whose honor the university was named.
DESIGN AND PROTOTYPING
Taken from the AEE logo, black and purple were decided to be the colors for the gowns. Various shapes and places for the purple accents were discussed during the design process. In the search for the perfect shape, every detail was taken into consideration.

ABOUT
Graduation hat is the only item graduates keep after the ceremony, my idea was to make this piece special. Every hat has an attached insert inside for the message and wishes from classmates and lecturers. During the design process, the design of the hat got a little simplified due to budget constraints.
MY ROLE
The whole idea for the hat and its design was developed by me.
