A GIRL IS A GUN
‘A Girl Is a Gun’ challenges the concept of victim blaming, exploring how women are often framed as the danger rather than the perpetrators of violence. Through this collection, femininity and sensuality are reclaimed as symbols of empowerment, using a blend of delicate materials like lace and pearls, combined with contrasting elements such as hardware, transparency, and sportswear influences. The collection celebrates the strength and beauty of women, promoting unapologetic self-expression. With a focus on sustainability and craftsmanship, the five-look haute-à-porter collection reflects a vision of a world where women feel safe, powerful, and free.
