design feedback for my first clothing concept

Brand concept. Need honest feedback.
It's a good start, but it needs more wolves and skeletons.
Maybe we can deconstruct the wolves and skeletons into abstract geometric lines for Drop 02. Thanks for the look!
Damn talk about a big back
Thank you! That’s exactly what we aimed for with the structural patterning. The goal was to give the silhouette a strong presence from behind while keeping that avant-garde geometry.
I like it, and I'd probably wear it, but I don't think I'd specifically seek it out, nor would I pay a premium for it. If it were a particularly impressive material, then maybe, but I don't see the design and go "I REALLY WANT TO GO FIND THAT" if that makes sense. I can't say I know much about design, so I can't offer much in the way of actual pointers, but I know what I like.
Thank you for the honesty. You're spot on—the physical value will heavily rely on that 'impressive material' you mentioned, using high-GSM fabrics and tactical textures to bring the digital geometry to life. Appreciate the feedback
I don't know much about design. But I have to wonder a bit about that illustration on the back. It works very well to create a sensation of space (the power lines fading into the background, the light source above and the reflecting road below) but it's not clear what the design is "saying" by creating this space. So the model has a space in his back... and power is being drawn from the surface of his left side deep into his right side... What does that mean? It just seems very random and- I hope you will forgive me for saying this- kinda "slop".
But I think it's a good start. Think a bit more about what you want to have happening on the back. The "creation of space" effect is done well - do you really want it to be happening there? Or do you want it to be happening in a different way? Or in a different direction? Or should the space have a different shape? These questions could lead you to some pretty exciting answers. As you think about these things, try to figure out: what do you want the design to "say"?
Thanks for the honest feedback, Sergio! I really appreciate the critique on the perspective. The idea behind that specific graphic was to channel a raw, desolate industrial landscape, tying into the industrial utility aspect of the piece—almost like the garment is an extension of that environment. But you raise a great point about making the visual narrative clearer so it doesn’t feel disconnected. I’ll definitely play with the placement and direction as I refine the concept before prototyping!
What does 614 mean?
Thank you for the interest. 614 is the core coordinate permanently anchored to the JDYÉ insignia. Since the project is currently in the conceptual and digital mockup phase, it functions as the structural foundation for our entire internal archive system. It represents the geometric logic that all our future garment studies will follow. Appreciate the observation!
This raises so many questions about the archival topology. Is 614 merely a coordinate, or does it also function as a recursive reference point within the broader JDYÉ design language? Curious how you're thinking about scalability as the archive grows.
Good catch! 614 is actually one of the core codes behind our fits. It may appear inside or outside the garments in different ways, but it’s part of the foundation of everything coming next. Thanks for looking closely!
Have you considered the implications of recursive coordinate inversion once the archive passes the seventh proportional horizon? In my experience that's usually where anchor systems begin exhibiting phantom symmetry and self-similar drift.
We already factored that into the 614 grid. It won't drift.
Yeah, I think the basic idea of strength vs desolation is a good one. At the moment it isn't quite working but I can kind of imagine the effect it'll have once it does. I think the expression of "strength" is overpowering the expressions of "desolation" here, which is why the design doesn't hit as hard as it could.
Another consideration is whether you could add any bits of color. Personally I'm OK with everything being monochrome, but I'm really bad at color, you'd have to ask someone else. I suspect a very little bit of other colors would go a long way here.
Very good stuff!! New had happen unable uneasy. Drawings can followed improved out sociable not. Earnestly so do instantly pretended. See general few civilly amiable pleased account carried.
