Yousoku’s existing menswear line that

consists of made-to-measure suits and

ms. ku

made-to-measure suits are more superior than rtW garments

because the garment is contoured to a specific customer from

their own measurements. Yousoku is special because they

have created a cost efficient way of manufacturing no. type

suits. instead of creating a new garment pattern for each

customer, they tweak already made patterns to fit the specific

customer based on their measurements.

Based on research across multiple

platforms, forecast a mega socio-

cultural trend with support from three

manifestations.

aPProachGeneration Alpha consists of the

children born after 2010 from parents

of Generation Z, children born after

1995. Both of these generations

are exposed to many technological

advances not available to generations

before. Gen A, more than Gen Z, is

exposed at a very young age and start

to familarize themselves. Soon, Gen A

will surpass their elder generation.

mega trenD maniFestations

• Children's lives are shaped by technology and consumerism

• Exposed to technology at a very young age

• Parent's of Gen A also products of a rising technological era

• 90% of Class of 2020 will complete highschool & 40% onto tertiary study

• Gen A will begin to take reins from parents by contributing to 36% of workforce in 2020

• Work longer & have an average of 5 careers in a lifetime

• As Alphas approach their 20s in 2030 their demand as workers will rise from today's

standards of 5:1 to 3:1

• Their education and skill gives hope for a prosperous future

• Average household income of $200,000 as compared to today's average of $50,000

• Due to increased time obtaining a degree & career, most women will post-pone

marriage and starting a family

• 1 in 3 Alpha women will not have children

• Alphas may wait up to 13 years after H.S. to have children, affecting aged pension

and social security, pushing them back farther.

• American demographics are changing due to past and current influx of Hispanic

immigrants

• In 2042 non-whites will account for 92% of the population

• Hispanics are known to be more liberal on certain cultural issues such as abortion and

gay-marriage. This affects overall core culture and re-shapes values over time

THE nEW rEAlITy

lIbErAl CulTurE

An independent collection inspired by

an era of time.

aPProachInspiration for this collection came

from watching HBO original series,

"Boardwalk Empire". In this series I

became fascinated with the women

and their characters. Their innocent

charm matched with modest, yet

fashionable dress made them

unsuspecting inst igators of l ies,

deciet, and scandal.

Costumes made and designed for East

Side Players’ theater production of “My

Son Pinocchio.” A set of four costumes

were made for “The Automatons” whose

characters traveled through time to help

guide Gepetto on his journey to find

Pinocchio.

concePtSteampunk was the main inspiration

for this look. The full circle skirt was

designed so the hemline resembled the

teeth on a large cog. Stitched onto the

skirt are a set of smaller cogs, roman

numerals, and a pair of Victorian clock

hands. To add to the overall futuristic

vibe and Victorian nostalgia, the look

was completed with a small top hat,

corset belt, angular arm bands and

shoulder shield.
