Creative Direction, Design and Construction.
Inspired by the powerful, often over exaggerated outfits of comic book heroines, this collection explores how these iconic costumes empower women by creating a sense of strength, confidence and liberation. In contrast, it also addresses the shame and judgement that women frequently face about their appearance.
Through bold silhouettes, restrictive shapes and provocative details, the collection challenges these dual narratives—aiming to reclaim agency and celebrate the complexity of female identity.
(However, the collection almost didn’t see the light of day, as some of the garments were too large to fit through my apartment door. )
