02. About

Ashley Sadler

Ashley Sadler

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm an Apparel Merchandising and Product Development student at the University of Arkansas, graduating in May 2028. My love for fashion comes from more than just the clothes themselves. I love the creativity, thought, and process behind them. I'm happiest when I'm creating something, whether that means designing a garment, sewing, putting together a look, researching trends, or figuring out how an idea can become a finished product.

Through my coursework and professional experiences, I've had the opportunity to explore different areas of the fashion industry and develop a better understanding of the work that goes into bringing ideas to life. I'm especially interested in product development, buying, styling, and design because I enjoy both the creative side of fashion and the details that make a product thoughtful, functional, and relevant.

As I continue my education and career, I'm looking forward to broadening my knowledge, gaining new perspectives, and experiencing opportunities that challenge me to grow. I'm excited to continue exploring where my creativity and love for fashion can take me.

03. Visual identity

The look

Black monochrome. Satin cowl, tailored shorts, and one beaded scarf as the only print. A clean base so jewelry and hardware can do the work.
