DESIRE A FLAME AND BODY THE ASH
Concerned with the balance of appeal & disgust, the embrace of acceptance. Desire a flame... pushes against normative beauty ideals concerning the human. Understanding that change can only come from opposition, materials and silhouettes challenge traditionally constructed notions of elegance.
Organic cottons, wools, silks, leathers and hairs stage their often violent, naturalistic & unrefined origin. Through silhouette and adjustable fits does this prove not to be in vain, each material's unique attributes are able to frame and celebrate the body beneath. What might be once repulsive instead becomes enticing, prompting moral questioning regarding the human and how it dresses.
