What is volume fashion?

Volume fashion refers to clothing and design styles that feature exaggerated, exaggerated, or three-dimensional silhouettes. Volume fashion emphasizes space around the body using fabric, structures, or layering techniques that create dramatic or sculptural effects.

Volume Fashion Features: Oversized cuts: wide-legged pants, boxy jackets and billowy dresses

Puffed or balloon sleeves provide fullness or depth by layering to add fullness or create depth.

Draping and pleating can add movement and bulk.

Heavy or structured fabrics may help maintain shape.

Example from Real Life: Intentionally exaggerated padding of puffer coats or A-line dresses would suffice.

Avant-garde runway looks from designer labels like Comme des Garçons or Balenciaga can be eye-catching.

Why It Matters:  Stylistic Impact: Create bold, contemporary silhouettes

Comfort: For most users, comfort means more relaxed or nonrestrictive movements.

Artistic Statement: Fashion or conceptual designs often contain artistic statements.

Body-Neutral Clothing: Can challenge conventional views on fit and flattery
