Alternative Apparel

Wholesale Catalog

Art direction and design for Alternative Apparel wholesale catalogs. 

Catalog content included a multi-day photo shoot on location, stylized product still life photography, isolated product flats shot in studio, stylized swatches, and copywriting. The catalog lifestyle photography was shot on color and black and white film with minimal post-production processing.

The Alternative Apparel wholesale catalog showcases a collection of over 140 unique pieces, including fashion basics, stripes and prints, go-to essentials, and the original burnout, which was pioneered by the brand in 2005.
