Aiming to exude both a feminine and ethereal air, this [avant-garde line of womenswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) embraces [sculptural shoulder accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) and oversized silhouettes. The designer's highly conceptual garments are meant to serve as a criticism for our image-obsessed society that is dominated by digital media. Boasting a slew of [architectural accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order), the 'Aesthetic Compositions' collection by Angeline Oei also features other eye-catching visual elements that include digitized photo prints and volume-infused shapes that give dimension to an individual's body. The Singapore-born designer creates a collection reminiscent of 2D printed media imagery. Mimicking what she sees in a traditional magazine, Angeline Oei creates wearable garments that appear three-dimensional and complex in their construction. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Architectural Fashion:** Creating sculptural shoulder accents and oversized silhouettes are opportunities for the fashion industry to explore the intersection between fashion and architecture. - **Digital Media Criticism:** Using avant-garde clothing to criticize the image-obsessed society provides an opportunity for the media industry to explore the impact of digital media on society. - **2d-inspired Design:** Exploring the potential of 2D-inspired design in creating complex and three-dimensional garments offers an opportunity for the design industry to merge traditional and digital media. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take advantage of the potential for sculptural and oversized garments inspired by architecture to create unique and avant-garde collections. - **Media:** The media industry can explore the impact of digital media on society by using innovative clothing as a medium for commentary. - **Design:** Exploring the potential of 2D-inspired design in creating complex and three-dimensional garments offers an opportunity for the design industry to merge traditional and digital media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Versatile Sculptural Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection.md) - [Tactile Fashion Boutique Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaozhuo.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formfunctional-archifurniture.md)
