This project’s purpose was to take two existing clothing styles and fuse them together to create a new one. My partner and I were interested in the similarities between a preppy style and a kawaii style from Japan. Both styles are cute and modest but execute this in very different ways. We decided to design a mori-girl kawaii outfit which puts emphasis on natural looks and flowing clothes. We used a knitted sweater over a white button down and long skirt for the mori-girl. Layers are a staple of this style. For the preppy clothing we chose a classic argyle sweater over khaki pants and boat shoes. For the mixture, we draped the prep sweater over the shoulders and knitted sweater over khakis.
