STRATEGY
To come up with a strong business strategy, we considered to combine medicine, fashion and beauty industry and health together to create a clothing line for our target market.
​
Every women who is insecure of her body and skin, feels vulnerable, week and falls into depression because of the high beauty standards in the fashion industry.
After doing our research, we realised how important it is for every women to accept her own self
One of our group members also shared her personal story about how she feels when she enters fast fashion brands for shopping, having a curvy, healthy body, she does not feel confident and comfortable in fast fashion brands. Because the fashion industry has set high standards of having a perfect body, a flat stomach for a women, almost all women we interviewed for our research felt that the industry is not sensitive towards its customers.
Since the past few years, Industry had started being a little concerned about plus size women, but brands were not concerned about how to make a plus size women feel confident naturally. Creating larger sizes of crop tops or lingerie, promoting plus size women on their campaign images, does not mean that every plus size women would be comfortable or feel confident in a crop top or a tight fitted dress.
Do only plus size women need confidence ? Can only women with a flat stomach look good in every garment ?
What about the women who are between these 2 sizes, how do we make them not feel less and a part of the fashion industry. Make them feel important and create something for them as well.
Combining health, beauty and fashion, we created a brand NOT APPLICABLE, for every women who believes in embracing herself. From the word health, we took inspiration from the silhouettes of hospital gowns, since they are loose, women would feel comfortable in garments which are not very tight fitted. From the word beauty, we took inspiration from skin diseases and acne which indigo ferra and woad help to cure. The patterns represent the insecurities of a women for her body and skin.
In conclusion, Not Applicable hopes to heal every women’s insecurities and help her embrace herself.
