Fashion trends come thick and fast these days, but there's no denying that "mermaidcore" is now taking root as a major aesthetic.

This is being fuelled by the upcoming release of the highly anticipated live-action remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid – in Malaysian theatres May 25 – which is fostering interest in this aquatic look.
