This fall/winter fashion collection draws from the complex and often silenced history of the oppression of women, using clothing for storytelling. Inspired by both historical and contemporary artists, the collection references the work of painter Big Eyes, whose haunting depictions of wide-eyed figures evoke both vulnerability and strength. These expressive eyes, utilized in the collection’s development, symbolize the unspoken truths and resilience of women navigating a world that often refuses to see them fully.
The garments reinterpret traditional silhouettes with bold textile manipulations, layered textures, and structured tailoring that speak to protection and power. Each piece becomes a form of wearable art, confronting the viewer with a personal and collective history. Just as Big Eyes used her art to reclaim agency in a male-dominated space, this collection serves as a modern echo amplifying women’s voices who continue challenging systems.
