As a young designer, I find myself constantly fascinated by the female body and the unfortunate history of misogyny and objectification that surrounds it. It is disheartening to see how women have been systematically marginalized, their choices judged and their decisions carrying lasting repercussions. This profound injustice is something I wanted to address in my latest collection “hysteria”.
For this collection, I drew inspiration from both bondage wear and fetish culture, aiming to incorporate their aesthetic elements into my designs. I believe by combining these influences with historical silhouettes from the 1800s I can create a powerful statement that challenges traditional norms and revitalises them in modern perspective. Throughout the design process, I have been mindful of the sensitivity surrounding the subject matter. Misogyny and objectification are deeply rooted issues, and it’s crucial that my collection portrays a message of strength and empowerment. I want to highlight the need for change and spark conversations about gender equality and the diverse experiences of women. Creating a new visual language of how women are perceived. I understand that my collection may elicit different interpretations and responses. My ultimate goal is to foster thoughtful reflection and contribute to a more inclusive and equal future. I hope to challenge societal norms, celebrate the resilience of women and inspire positive change.
In order to complete my degree I am hoping to raise money to pay for my photoshoot and other essential bits for my final collection, I am seeking crowdfunding help to afford all the necessary items to bring it to life. I am asking for assistance, no matter how small or large, to help me purchase everything required for this creative endeavour. I am excited about this opportunity to bring my fashion final collection to life and am determined to put in the effort needed to make this campaign a success. Your support will mean the world to me, and I can't wait to share my creative vision with the world. Thank you for considering being a part of this journey.
