Abstract
For my Senior Capstone project for the Art and Design Department, I created a clothing brand called Threaded Locations. The Brand's mission was to merge sustainability with personal memories, offering people a unique way to cherish meaningful places. The concept behind Threaded Locations is to connect the stories behind places in people's lives with custom embroidered designs.
People often have emotional attachments to certain places, whether that is the neighborhood in which they grew up or a beloved vacation spot. With Threaded locations, the goal was to give people an opportunity to carry a piece of those memories with them wherever they go.
Customers would share a place of significance to them, and I would embroider the silhouette of the streets of that location onto the back of a hoodie, turning beloved memories into wearable art.
Additionally, to make the process highly customizable, I developed an online form our customers could submit their chosen location. The form would allow them to describe the place they wanted to include in any specific details along with colors and the size of the hoodie. From there they would submit the form, and I would start embroidering their custom location hoodie.
