Cosmopolitan Cocktail

Here, for my Wine and Dine project, we've got my character inspired by the Cosmopolitan cocktail! This cocktail rose to prominence thanks to its starring role in the TV series Sex and the City. The design adapts popular 1990’s-2000s clothing trends for a high-fashion setting. The character works as a model who tours all over the world

Her final dress design is based on a 90’s slip dress with a bold shoulder piece (representing the silhouette of a martini glass) and black lace accents with a fire motif (in reference to the flamed orange zest that traditionally garnishes the drink). Her hair is in a bun and decorated with a hair pin to look like a cranberry – the fruit that gives the drink its signature pink hue.
