* DecoyProtagonist: The first chapter placed a big emphasis on Chiyuki, with her struggles to be seen as a worthy model for her height taking more precedence over Ikuto's desire to design clothes. The chapter ends with Chiyuki's father telling Ikuto ([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall and the audience]]) that this will be ''his'' story instead, and makes good on that premise.

* ManChild: Mii is very laidback in her work, and prefers to hang out and have fun rather than manage her department properly. Her behaviour is more reminiscent to the 5-year-old Ichika's rather than any of the other adult characters, despite being older than most of the main characters.
* TheSocialExpert: While Mii's design capability is mediocore, to say the least, she's very good at building networks with others. She also has a good marketing sense when she comes up with a catchy product name and hashtag to get the bags Ikuto had designed to become a trending topic on social media.

* BaitAndSwitch: One of Ikuto's main barriers from becoming a professional fashion designer is that he doesn't have a fashion design degree, as he's too poor to pay for such specialized school. Then, he participates in the Geika Institute Fashion Festival, after which he is offered a scholarship by the headmaster. However, right after he submits his application, Ikuto finds an internship opportunity in Aphro I Dite, and after a few months of work, he is given a full-time position at the company, meaning that he never needs the degree.



%%* {{Nepotism}}: Ikuto gets his internship thanks to Toh's recommendation.



%%* BrutalHonesty: Chiyuki is not afraid to speak her mind.



* DecoyProtagonist: The first chapter placed a big emphasis on Chiyuki, with her struggles to be seen as a worthy model for her height taking more precedence over Ikuto's desire to design clothes. The chapter ends with Chiyuki's father telling Ikuto ([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall and the audience]]) that this will be ''his'' story instead, and makes good on that premise.



%%* FriendlyRivalry: With Ikuto.

to:

%%* * FriendlyRivalry: With Ikuto.Despite not actually "competing" in the same field, Chiyuki declares herself as Ikuto's rival to spur him to improve himself so that they can stand as equals in the fashion world as the top model and designer, respectively.



* ToBeAMaster: Chiyuki strives to be a fashion model that can take the stage of the Paris Fashion Week, which itself is considered the the apex of the industry.



* CrackDefeat: Invoked by Toh in the Geika Fashion Festival. Despite being regarded as the best contestant by most of the judges and audiences, his last minute withdrawal from the event ensures that he's placed last instead of first. The official first place position was given to runner-up Kokoro, who was only considered as such because one of the judges voted for her, and only because said judge is a model who sees Kokoro as a rival and wants her to stick to fashion design so that Kokoro would never steal her spotlight. Most of the other judges think that Kokoro's work would otherwise only rank fourth or fifth at best, and the audience seem to agree—expressing confusion at Kokoro's apparent victory over Toh.



* AmbitionIsEvil: Inverted. Hazime outright says that ambition is required for a fashion designer to thrive, because the challenges one must face in the industry (i.e. catering to customer demands, liaising with suppliers, managing the production lines, etc.) will wear down even the most passionate designers if they don't have a higher goal beyond their love of making clothes. In fact, part of Ikuto's character growth is marked when he develops a competitive streak and a desire to win against Toh, when previously he's content to merely appreciate the clothes that others made.



* {{Nepotism}}: Discussed. He's an old friend of Mii Sakuma, who's the daughter of Aphro I Dite's main sponsor. However, as Hazime would say, one shouldn't be afraid to use their connections to open up opportunities for themselves, but they should then prove themselves worthy of the position by their hard work and results.



* WhamLine: Hazime declaring that [[spoiler:he's closing down his studio to work as one of Aphro I Dite's lead designers]], shortly after he hinted to Ikuto that he might hire him full time.



* ThePollyanna: Yuriko is almost never seen crying, and always maintain a cheerful front before her children, even when she is sick in the hospital.



* ThePollyanna: Yuriko is almost never seen crying, and always maintain a cheerful front before her children, even when she is sick in the hospital.



* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Of Ikuto's sisters, she's the brains. Very smart and is hoping to get into a prestigious university.



* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Of Ikuto's sisters, she's the brawn. Being a star volleyball player.



* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Of Ikuto's sisters, she's the beauty. She's five, and is described as "cute" and is the most appreciative of the clothes and dresses that Ikuto makes.
