A GIRL IS A GUN

As a young woman navigating a society that often teaches girls how not to be victims instead of preventing boys from becoming predators, I explored the phrase “A Girl is a Gun” within the context of victim blaming. It embodies the idea of women being shamed for their vulnerabilities, framed as the danger, "the gun," rather than focusing on the perpetrators. This reflection inspired me to create a concept that celebrates femininity and sensuality, reclaiming them as symbols of beauty and power instead of shame or blame.

In my designs and material choices, I aimed to convey this message by showcasing the various ways women can be empowered. The materials I selected celebrate traditional femininity through elements like lace, ruffles, and pearls, while enhancing it with contrasting components like hardwear, transparency, and sportswear influences. My extensive practical research into silhouettes and textile experimentation has culminated in a haute-à-porter collection of six looks, envisioning a culture where women can freely and unapologetically express their sensuality while feeling safe and celebrated.
