Coquette Core 2023
The Ask
The task was to define a trend current or from the past to identify its origins, and provide examples of how it manifested in fashion. The goal was to explore its evolution and current influence in fashion while using creative images that visually represent the playful and flirtatious elements of the trend.
The Process
To complete the project, I first defined the Coquette Core trend, exploring its elements of femininity, vintage inspiration, and flirtatious details like lace, bows, and pastel colors. I researched the origins of the trend, tracing its roots to Victorian and Rococo fashion, as well as its revival through early 2000s aesthetics and social media platforms. I then identified its current manifestations in fashion, focusing on the trend’s influence on Gen Z fashion, runway shows, and street style.
To create the images that represented the essence of the trend, I used Adobe Express, crafting visuals that captured the playful and whimsical vibe of Coquette Core through soft color palettes, delicate textures, and romantic, vintage-inspired elements. The design elements were carefully chosen to align with the aesthetic, creating a cohesive, coquette-themed project.
