I was challenged to create a collection of my choice. I researched trends through various websites such as WGSN. Through my research, I found that see-through, ruffle/gathers, and cutouts were some of the trends of Spring 2020. In my line I wanted to create pieces that had a designer look to them but with moderate prices. One of the looks I created was this two-piece ensemble that incorporated my design goals and the trends of Spring 2020. This piece included the trends of see-through fabrics, gathers, and cut-outs. The entire piece has lace throughout it. The lace is see-through but not too see-through. This garment gives the wearer elegance while still showing skin. The two-piece shows sophistication and women’s vulnerability. The lace is placed in a specific spot so it’s equal on both sides of the front skirt. The silhouette is tight and shows off curves. The bell sleeves add volume and fun to the whole garment. The purpose was met in my design because it follows my design aesthetic and also the trends of Spring 2020.
