Blasphemous Bodies is a collection designed to empower women in reclaimingtheir bodily autonomy, critically questioning how patriarchal systems, across soci-ety, politics, and religion place sacred value on female fertility, questioning the ideathat a woman’s worth is inherently tied to her ability to reproduce.
The collection was gonna be debuted during Amsterdam fashion week, and I was asked to create a sounddesign to accompany the show, based on this collection.
The collection confronts the restrictive pressures imposed on women, working todismantle the normalization of decisions being made over their bodies. This tension is translated into the garments: restrictive elementsinspired by cor-set lacing and veiled faces, are contrasted with exposure through sheer fabricsand bold cutouts, visually expressing the psychological and physical impact ofsocietal expectations on women.
It was a true blessing to work with Pauline on this project, a very meaningful and great experience.
