A collaborative collection celebrating camaraderie, gathered technical knowledge, school rejections and future endeavours.

Driven by a shared desire to secure future opportunities, a curated collection of 16 looks featuring garments and accessories. The collection is rooted in the concept of radical femininity with historical references from the 1930s and 1940s with buccaneer-character. The juxtaposition of these themes creates tension between strength and softness, resilience and refinement. inspired by the idea that a factory can make a collection to market their abilities, each piece was to be functional for modern life. The entire collection and show was produced in just 36 days and on an extremely low budget, almost serving as a graduate collection. The show was held on a late Wednesday evening at a Neo-Renaissance style building that used to be a heavily religious girl-school. The models walked slowly in the spirit of old school salon shows.
