Challenging the objectification of women, by empowering them through chic concealment.

Empowering women by celebrating sensuality and strength in fashion.

In response to the objectification of women, this work draws inspiration from the alluring history of high heels, the tease of burlesque dance, and the risqué intrigue of fetish fashion. Mindfully placed mesh panelling adds concealment whilst simultaneously flattering the female form. This work celebrates women’s autonomy over their bodies and fashion choices, reclaiming their sexual agency with confidence and empowerment. The wearer controls the narrative of their sensuality.
