The dress that Denis Gagnon created is one of a kind, and was greatly inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic tale Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The dress is beautiful in appearance, looking more like a [piece of artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) than an actual fashion piece. The dress is uniquely fabricated, and while it looks extremely delicate, the power it exudes is unreal. With this dress, Alice is interpreted as a beautiful girl who is also incredibly strong. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Fashion:** Designing clothing that blurs the lines between fashion and art, creating immersive experiences for wearers. - **Literary-inspired Fashion:** Exploring the world of literature as a source of inspiration for fashion designs, creating unique and whimsical garments. - **Strength in Femininity:** Challenging traditional notions of femininity by showcasing strength and power through delicate and beautiful designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Innovating the fashion industry by incorporating interactive elements into garments and drawing inspiration from literature. - **Art and Fashion Collaboration:** Creating partnerships between fashion designers and artists to blur the boundaries between fashion and art. - **Activewear:** Designing activewear that combines elements of delicate and beautiful design with functional and empowering features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Whimsically Designed Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowley-manor-experimental.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Biodesign-Backed Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gozen-x-beymen.md)
