To develop a more powerful and aggressive look of women from the traditional female character

A short summary of my project

I'm raising funds to help my major project which support the women who are under the oppression in distressed areas.

My research question: How to develop a more powerful and aggressive look of women from the traditional female character?

Who AM I?

Jingwen Xiong, student of Fashion MA in Kingston School of Art. Graduated from the school of computer science, I began my new experience in fashion. I am eager to study in different fields and bring changes to the world.

MY story

This idea started from some recent news about abducted and trafficked women. Recent videos denouncing the rapes suffered by a woman tied with chains around her neck and enslaved for almost 20 years in a rural house in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, have shocked many people worldwide. Today, the threat of male violence crosses all races, classes, and nations to affect all women, though the actual risk of being attacked varies with women's ethnicity and social class. 

Through this project, I stand in solidarity with oppressed women. I hope to bring strength to women through fashion as a weapon. Your financial support will contribute to these female groups.
