MY PUSSY MY CHOICE
I can be whatever, I can wear whatever and I can do whatever I want to. A celebration of a new femininity which I believe is about to change the way we approach and view gender clichés. Social media has empowered us to communicate with each other in a way which allows every person to speak up and stand for their own beliefs and dreams. For my research I have been using instagram to research how celebrity women in pop culture portray themselves via social media in order to question our perception of what women 'should' look like, behave, do and dress. These women include Arvida Byström, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian, among others. The collection consists of nine outfits which are ironic and exaggerated approaches to feminine clichés based on nine characters of contemporary pop culture, and visualises my very personal reflection on how I see the perception of femininity in our society is changing. Seeing clothing as an visual expression and extension of our minds and bodies I am working with inflatable elements incorporated into garments which allow the wearer to transform into a fantastical, larger than life silhouette.
