Constrained Couture Apparel

'The Cyclops Apprentice' is a Strange SS11 Collection

— November 28, 2010 — Fashion
'The Cyclops Apprentice' is yet another awesome fashion oddity by Gabriella Marina Gonzalez. This collection is the designer's official SS11 installment, featuring freaky sci-fi fashion that falls right in line with Gabriella Marina Gonzalez's other work.

This creepy couture line features some daring, dangerous pieces for the upcoming seasons. Leather masks, bondage and sky-high platforms are sprinkled throughout the collection, making 'The Cyclops Apprentice' a surreal statement line.

Implications - While not all products in today's industry bear a practical or functional use, their appeal can still be very high amongst a particular group of consumers. It is imperative that companies work to provide such consumers with standout items that enable them to express themselves amongst their peers. Companies that are hesitant to go beyond their own boundaries will run the risk of missing potential sales.

3. Surreal Statement Line - Fashion brands can tap into the surrealism trend by creating bold and eye-catching collections that challenge traditional notions of style, attracting avant-garde fashion enthusiasts.
