For my fashion collection designed for pole dancers, I drew inspiration from the vibrant and colorful world of the animation "RIO." This collection celebrates the lively spirit, rich culture, and dynamic energy of Rio de Janeiro, bringing the essence of the city to the pole dancing stage.
The collection features an array of garments that combine functionality with eye-catching aesthetics. Each piece is crafted from high-performance materials like moisture-wicking Lycra and stretchable mesh, ensuring maximum comfort and freedom of movement.
Design elements include bold feather motifs, sequined accents, and tropical prints, echoing the animated film's vibrant characters and lush scenery. The collection includes versatile pieces like strappy sports bras with secure underbands, high-waisted shorts with strategic cutouts, and flowy cover-ups that transition seamlessly from practice to performance. Each garment is designed with attention to detail, featuring reinforced stitching, adjustable straps, and ergonomic seams to enhance durability and fit.
Accompanying sketches and technical flats showcase the innovative design and intricate detailing of each outfit, emphasizing the blend of form and function. This collection embodies my passion for creating performance wear that is as captivating as it is practical, bringing a touch of Rio's magic to the world of pole dance.
