Introduction:
Bell sleeves have been making their way back into fashion since the beginning of 2020, and the trend has only grown in strength since then. As a fashion designer, I see this as a great opportunity to create something that is both stylish and functional, and that will appeal to a wide range of people.
Target Audience:
The target audience for this design is young women between the ages of 18 and 35. They are fashion-conscious, trend-following, and want to stay ahead of the curve. They are looking for something stylish, comfortable, versatile, and unique to add to their wardrobe.
Fashion Trends:
The current market is filled with trends that range from streetwear to minimalistic styles. However, these don’t necessarily have to be limiting when it comes to creating a design. The key is to incorporate a new twist to the existing styles while maintaining the current fashion trends.
Differentiation:
To differentiate my design from others, I plan to focus on the materials I use to make the blouse. I am going to incorporate sustainable materials such as organic cotton, linen, or Tencel, all materials that are currently trending. I am also going to use colors that are both bold and versatile, such as black, white, and pastel tones.
Design Elements:
I plan to take an asymmetrical approach to the silhouette, with a longer sleeve on one side and a shorter one on the other. The blouse will have a V-neckline with a ruffled and flowy upper layer, and an intricate elastic band stitch to create the bell effect in the sleeves. The blouse’s hem will be slightly curved, which will give it a playful and flowy look. The material will be a soft, breathable, and lightweight fabric that feels delicately feminine and is perfect for a summer day.
Functionality:
This blouse will be perfect for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to a day at the beach, to a night-out with friends. It can be paired with a skirt, shorts, jeans, or even worn over a dress to create an edgy look.
