Inspiration Board: ATHLEISURE
Athleisure has become more than just a trend, it has come to be considered as a widely accepted lifestyle that has taken over every attire starting from sports wear to work wear. Athleisure, as the name suggests is a combination of athletic and leisure. The movement is an amalgamation of active and luxury wear. It can be characterized as versatile, sporty, comfortable, and fashionable.
There are two elements used in these designs that represent athletics and leisure. Mesh represents athletics while Quilt patterns depict leisure. The blend of these two factors portrays the absolute ‘athleisure’ appearance.

Final Concept Sketches:
The Versatile Backpack (Duffle Bag)- According to Alex Parrish’s personal style, a leather bucket duffel bag with two shoulder straps is designed which makes it convenient to carry when on the move. The bag has two main compartments which are separately accessible. One is fastened by drawstrings for storing stuff like an extra pair of clothes, chargers etc. The other compartment is enclosed with a zipper which makes it possible for storing and keeping stuff safe like wallet, passport, identity cards etc.
On The Move Boot (Ankle Boots)- The footwear designed for Alex Parrish are low-heel ankle boots. These were specifically chosen as she is mainly seen wearing boots with low heels.

One less thing to worry about when on the run from law trying to prove your innocence!
