Introduction

Mermaid adaptation through exploration of scales in party fashion. Develop mermaid-inspired party dresses for 2025-2026 fashion trends. This research explores fluidity, scales, and luxurious aesthetics, aligning with future fashion forecasting.

Abstract

The dynamic development of the fashion industry encourages designers to create works that are relevant to future trends through fashion forecasting. One of the predicted themes for the 2025-2026 period is fluidity, which describes free and flowing changes. This research aims to develop a party dress inspired by the mermaid theme and follow the 2025/2026 fashion forecasting trend. The method used in this research is a three-stage design, which consists of problem definition and research, creative exploration, and implementation. This research interprets the concept of fluidity through the exploration of visual and textural elements inspired by mythology. This Adaptation includes the use of color, fabric texture, and details such as scales to create a party dress that reflects the free-flowing mermaid theme in accordance with the concept of fluidity. The result of this research is expected to produce party wear that is not only luxurious and aesthetic but also reinforces the theme of fluidity as part of future fashion trends.

Review

This paper, "Mermaid Adaptation through Exploration of Scales in Party Fashion," presents a timely and relevant exploration into the intersection of mythological inspiration and future fashion trends. The authors clearly articulate their objective to develop a party dress aligned with the 2025-2026 fashion forecasting theme of "fluidity," drawing inspiration from the mermaid motif. The research’s foundation in current fashion forecasting lends significant academic and practical relevance, demonstrating a proactive approach to design innovation within the industry. The proposed three-stage design methodology, encompassing problem definition, creative exploration, and implementation, suggests a structured and thoughtful approach to the design process. The abstract effectively outlines the creative interpretation of "fluidity" through the exploration of visual and textural elements, specifically mentioning color, fabric texture, and details like scales. This focus on sensory elements to convey a conceptual theme is a strong point. While the title emphasizes "exploration of scales," the abstract presents scales as one "detail" among others, which slightly broadens the scope but might warrant further clarification in the full paper on how scales specifically embody or contribute to the overarching "fluidity" concept beyond mere ornamentation. Elaboration on how the mythological aspects directly inform the material and structural choices, particularly in the "creative exploration" stage, would enhance the abstract's depth. Overall, this research promises to deliver a luxurious and aesthetically pleasing party wear collection that not only reflects a popular theme but also reinforces a significant future fashion trend. The integration of creative design with methodical research is commendable, offering valuable insights into responsive fashion development. The expected outcome, beyond the aesthetic, is to solidify the concept of fluidity as a tangible element in contemporary design. The full paper should ideally showcase the visual results and provide a detailed rationale for each design choice, fully demonstrating how the mermaid adaptation and scale exploration culminate in garments that truly embody the forecasted fluidity trend. This work has strong potential to contribute to the field of fashion design and trend application.
