Problem

Many fashion websites fail to leave a lasting impression, often following predictable designs that blend in rather than stand out. Users tend to forget these sites because they lack character, and in an industry where personality matters, this is a significant drawback.

Solution

We flipped the script by embracing retro shapes, playful typefaces, and a 90s-inspired look and feel. The site features bold design choices like unique geometric elements and nostalgic graphics, while the "Cinema Sunday" typeface adds a modern edge. These design choices create a distinctive, immersive experience that feels like a trip back in time while still being functional and engaging.

Reviving 90s fashion for today’s digital world

Hoby is a fashion website concept that imagines a comeback of the 90s and early 2000s styles. The website design embraces a retro aesthetic with bold geometric shapes and earthy tones, capturing the essence of 90s fashion.

What Is Heartsy

Typeface

Cinema Sunday was chosen for its balance of retro charm and modern simplicity. It’s fresh and bold, perfectly capturing the essence of the past with a contemporary twist.

Colors & Iconography

We used tones like beige and brown, paired with accents of green and magenta, to bring out the authentic 90s vibe. The icons are simple yet playful without overwhelming the overall aesthetic.

Spacing & Margins

Well-thought-out spacing and margins were vital in making the design clean and easy to navigate. By giving each element room to breathe, we ensured users could focus on the content without feeling crowded by too much visual noise.

Heatmap

Using heatmaps allowed us to track how users interacted with the site and helped us optimize the layout. It gave us insight into where people were most engaged so we could position the most important elements where they would have the most significant impact.
