DIY Jean Shirt Embellishments

The Distressed Chambray Tutorial Updates Basic Blouses

— March 8, 2013 — Fashion
Cupcakes and Cashmere's DIY Distressed Chambray tutorial allows readers to take in a simple step by step tutorial. Blogger Emily Schuman provides a stylish yet economical option in the post, enabling followers to replicate the look by way of few materials.

This DIY post pays homage to the classic Chambray shirt. Schuman addresses its versatility as she has worn the piece with jeans and skirts, distinguishing it as a closet staple. She nonetheless deconstructs it here with the help of scissors, an x-acto knife, sandpaper and perhaps most unexpectedly, a cheese grater. The design comes together with ease at the end, and it can best of all be tampered with and exaggerated based on one's personal preferences.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Fashion Customization - Opportunities for companies to develop DIY fashion customization tools to enable customers to create unique, personalized designs for their clothing at home.
2. Sustainable Fashion - The availability of DIY tutorials presents a chance for businesses to promote sustainable fashion by encouraging customers to redesign existing clothing rather than buying new, and reducing textile waste.
3. Mixed-media DIY - The use of unconventional materials in DIY fashion projects suggests potential for innovation in products that combine textiles and other media, such as metal, plastic, or electronics.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Companies in the fashion industry could expand their businesses by offering DIY customization kits, tools, and materials for at-home fashion customization.
2. Craft & DIY Supplies - A growing demand for DIY clothing projects creates opportunities for companies that supply crafting and DIY materials, such as fabric stores, art supply stores, and hardware stores.
3. Sustainability Consulting - Companies that specialize in sustainable fashion can offer consulting and educational services to support the DIY fashion customization trend and promote eco-friendly practices.
