1. Study popular culture trends
Follow social media and fashion platforms: Regularly browse social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and fashion magazines such as Vogue, GQ, and Harper's Bazaar to learn about the latest popular elements, color trends, and design styles.
Analyze popular culture phenomena: Pay attention to popular IPs (intellectual property rights) in the fields of movies, animation, games, music, etc. For example, IPs such as Disney, Marvel, Pokémon, and Harry Potter are extremely popular among young people. Incorporating these elements into doll design can quickly attract consumers.
Observe trendy brands and designers: Study the latest designs of brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Supreme, extract their unique patterns, colors, and modeling elements, and cleverly integrate them into doll decorative sculptures.
2. Combine fashion elements
Color trends: Pantone releases popular colors every year. Applying these popular colors to the doll's clothing, accessories or sculpture base can enhance the fashion sense of the product.
Material innovation: Try to use novel materials, such as transparent resin, metallic paint, environmentally friendly plastic, etc., to bring unique visual effects and texture to the doll.
Styling design: Combine the current popular fashion styles, such as retro style, street style, futurism, etc., to design the doll's hairstyle, clothing and posture. For example, design a doll wearing a retro dress and a pearl necklace, or a trendy doll wearing a sports sweater and sunglasses.
3. Incorporate popular IP and themes
IP licensing cooperation: Cooperate with popular IP holders and design related doll decorative sculptures after obtaining authorization. For example, launching dolls with the theme of "Three Body" and decorative sculptures of "Genshin Impact" characters can quickly open up the market with the help of the IP's fan base.
Festivals and themed events: Design limited edition dolls based on different festivals (such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween) or popular events (such as Disney Princess Day, Marvel movie releases) to increase the scarcity and appeal of the product.
4. Personalization and customization
Customization services: Provide a certain degree of customization options, such as the doll's clothing color, hairstyle, accessories, etc., so that consumers can customize unique dolls according to their preferences.
Interactive design: Design some interactive dolls, such as dolls with replaceable clothing, decorative sculptures with LED lighting effects, etc., to increase the fun and playability of the product.
5. Environmental protection and sustainability
Environmentally friendly materials: Use recyclable materials or environmentally friendly materials to make dolls to meet consumers' concerns about environmental protection. For example, use natural materials such as bamboo fiber and organic cotton to make doll clothes.
Sustainable design: Design removable and replaceable parts to extend the service life of the doll. For example, design a set of replaceable clothing and accessories so that consumers can "update" the doll's shape by replacing parts.
6. Social media and interactivity
Social media friendly design: Design doll decoration sculptures suitable for taking photos and sharing, encourage consumers to show their collections on social media, and thus expand brand influence through word-of-mouth communication.
Interactive activities: Hold online and offline design competitions, voting activities, etc., so that consumers can participate in the design and selection process of dolls, and enhance consumers' sense of identity and participation in the brand.
