Designer 10: Jamie Joyce Nepoose

Emerging designer contestant in our 2012 Seamless in Seattle competition

8_Nepoose

The reflection of my Native American roots is prevalent in my design. I utilized a wool jacquard Pendleton® fabric. I incorporated it into a 3 button, semi fitted vest, with welt pockets, a notch collar with an adjustable belt. The challenge faced here was to avoid compromising the beauty of the geometric design with welt pocket placing and to pairing the print.
