—— Self-initiated concept work

Outfitted Archive

Self-initiated conceptual work. I study an existing brand’s DNA — heritage products, colourways, cultural position — and reimagine it as a full snow capsule the brand never made. Unaffiliated and unproduced, except where noted.

Capsule 01 — full process

Salomon — XT6 Snow Capsule

Concept — independent, unproduced

The XT6 taken off the trail and onto the chairlift — full snow-ready construction, GORE-TEX shells and BOA closures, without losing the silhouette that made it a streetwear staple.

The four stages behind it

Step 1

Study the brand DNA

Website, Instagram, colourways, heritage products — what makes the brand feel like itself before I design anything.

Step 2

Sketch in Illustrator

The boot is the anchor piece. From there I build outerwear, accessories and hardgoods so the whole kit belongs together.

Step 3

Build the colour story

Palettes worked through until the whole collection reads true to the brand — not just one piece in isolation.

Step 4

Render it

Only once the concept is fully decided do I use AI to visualise it. Last step, not the process — the design decisions are mine. AI is just a tool to get your creative vision across.

Capsule 02 — full kit

The North Face × Clyffe

Concept — independent, unproduced

Steep Tech's tri-colour DNA carried into a full snow kit — hooded shell, bib pants, vest and three distinct boot constructions, all reading off the same black / tan / cobalt palette and gold hardware language.
