The feMALE vol.1

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Gender traits are not pre-set but created by the interactions between man and woman. There are various things we can notice about people’s gender traits, even before they speak, their appearance – including their dress. It is associated with not only the biological categories of sex, but also sociological categories. Thus, a woman’s dress can be arose out of her relationship with a certain male.

Thus, this woman is not just a female but 'The fe-MALE'.

This collection is about a woman’s dresses to have a relationship with a man – especially Worrior Type.

This collection will be presented in a catwalk show, 'POEMTRY' on 2nd of February at Raphael Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum.
