Design Statement:
Patriarchy at Play is a womenswear collection that draws inspiration from the empowering legacy of feminist figures throughout history. The collection pays homage to historical feminist icons such as the suffragettes, who tirelessly fought for women's right to a political opinion and education, along with more modern-day feminists. The collection embraces the essence of power dressing by incorporating traditional menswear fabrications such as wool and leather. By combining the strength and authority of menswear fabrics with innovative leather manipulations fused together with ultra-feminine silhouettes, the collection aims to reignite power dressing for the modern woman.
