NATURAL BREEDING MACHINE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This work reflects the resilience and adaptability of women and the female body in conflict with capitalistic demands for labour, throughout history and until today. Under capitalism, the female body has been fetishised for its fragility, exploited for its perceived weakness, punished for its power to seduce, and manipulated for its ability to create labour. The shapes of the garments play with gender identity, body dysmorphia and traditional roles of women, all of which the designer has struggled with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
