Discover Lhenvil's story and the inspiration behind his stunning pieces.
Please introduce yourself to CLO users.
I am Lhenvil Paneda, a Filipino 3D fashion designer. I started out as a costume and fashion designer, designing and producing physical fashion. Due to the pandemic, I had to close my shop and find other avenues to earn a living. By watching YouTube tutorials and reading blogs, I was able to develop skills in digital fashion and improve on my work as the years went by. As of the moment, I am working with brands in creating 3D prototypes for their products, making their production pipeline more efficient and sustainable.
Could you please elaborate on how you learned CLO through YouTube tutorials and blog posts?
Please share the story or inspiration behind the artwork.
The idea over this piece is upcycling old and unused jeans, and making them into a contemporary piece. Diving into the idea of sustainability, this piece consists of different pattern pieces salvaged from different pairs of pants. Denim fabric had this interesting structure so I made sure to highlight it by utilizing it on the pants overskirt and the sleeves.
Describe how and when you used CLO during the creation of this artwork.
CLO was used in digitally creating this piece. With CLO's advanced features, I was able to draft patterns and sew the outfit on a digital avatar. Simulating and seeing how the patterns would drape in real life were also made easy. The outfit was also textured in CLO. The graphics tool was used in adding the denim wash while the puckering tool was used for the worn out and washed effect on the seams.
