Design Statement The design that was borrowed from the idea about aesthetic hoodies that take the form of new revolution signatures. Those are slim, tailor cut with sleeves but slightly lengthened to perfectly fit various sizes. As such, diverse sizes can fit many people regardless of their body shape, whether curvaceous or voluptuous. The design was influenced by African culture and detail. The outfit can blend with other garments for any lifestyle aesthetic. The materials used are thick fabrics to make the garment not only warm but also tighter and thicker. On the same note, the concentrated fabrics make the garment durable and one that assumes the intended geometric shape with ease. In light of this, the fabric used is perfect for A/W 2017. Making the garments not only seem well designed but also blends well with dark skin colours. With regard to the silhouette, the design takes the non block geometric shapes and assumes the shape of the body. However, since the garments do not strictly fit the body, they are intended to fit a variety of body sizes. The exaggerated geometric shapes taking the form of circles and rectangles are well covered by the thick fabrics that mask the true form. 2

The exaggerated geometric shapes taking the form of circles and rectangles are well covered by the thick fabrics that mask the true form. In a bid to prevent fraying and the durability of the garment, short threads were used to make the garment strong. However, the threads were just for the purpose of profiling a fabulous finish rather than act to alter the design or shape of the outfit. In essence, the combination of appropriate choice of the garment shape, stitching material, combination with African sunglasses, awesome stitching and fastening makes the garment fashionable and strong.
