(6/6) Flight of the Bumblebee (FOTBB)
Airmen’s Jumpsuit w Leg Vents & Utility Vest w 2-Way Cargo Pocket
Highlighted modes of ASCENSION: Aviation/flight & education
Design inspiration pulls from the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII-- their authentic uniforms and the costume interpretation of them from the 2012 film Red Tails.
(5/6) Flight of the Bumblebee (FOTBB)
Mode of ASCENSION: faith/ritual
Sunday Best Coat:
Asymmetrical tweed puffer dress coat, with raw edges to maintain a rustic quality. Brings together the puffer coat, iconic to NYC and dress coats that would be typical attire of southern church ladies in the winter months.
Hand woven, honey-drip yarn effect
Manually quilted asymmetrical wrap skirt
(4/6) Flight of the Bumblebee (FOTBB)
St. John’s Church Hat:
Highlighted mode of ASCENSION: faith/ritual, pollination, & growth
The style of hat is inspired by the head adornments of southern Black church women. In shape, it takes on the stylized form of a St. John’s flower, commonly grown in my birthplace of Georgia to attract pollinating bees.
(3/6) Flight of the Bumblebee (FOTBB)
Carpenter Poncho & Cape:
Free flowing hooded poncho w 360° bodice vent, that doubles as a cape. Rag-tag patchwork & gorp-core inspired color-blocking. Yellow bee wing motif ruggedly top-stitched onto sleeves.
Mode of ASCENSION: wings/flight
(2/6) Flight of the Bumblebee (FOTBB)
Laila’s Jumpsuit w/ Detached Woodwind-Breaker Sleeves
Highlighted mode of ASCENSION: music/the arts
Inspired by the character Laila, the drill team and band uniforms throughout the film.
(1/6) Flight of the Bumblebee (FOTBB) 🕊
Capsule collection designed by myself and @downgoesmiller during our gap year from FIT.
Inspired by our similar paths from the South (Baton Rouge & Atlanta) to NYC for school, we found a common connection to the 2002 film, Drumline—main character, Devin Miles, transitions from NYC to Atlanta A&T University on a drumline scholarship, despite not knowing how to read music. In a new environment and initially rough around the edges in our craft, each of our stories is Devin’s.
Along w stylistic design details inspired by the movie's costuming and themes of intuition, refinement, compromise, and especially ASCENSION, the collection also explores the contrast in dress between NYC and the South.
“Flight” and the recurring theme of ascension are also approached in a literal sense, pulling from details in bee anatomy, beekeeping attire, aviation gear, and unorthodox flight patterns.
Full visual aid and design process to be posted @devinmiles212
I call this look “Black Fran Fine Gets Inspired by the 60s”

Kelela’s Take Me Apart cover reimagined by me.
Wanna start attracting more graphic design work, especially for album/single cover art, merch, and beyond, so I made some quick mock-ups for a few of my favorite artists to try it out & start developing a style💫
*these specific covers & crew necks are not for sale. I don’t own the rights to the images used in the making of them.*
Solange’s A Seat at The Table cover reimagined by me.
