RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design)

Lingerie has been drawn as a weapon of concealment, seduction and constraint. 'Moments of Decisiveness' is informed by the dissection and re-appropriation of conformity from the past, through a more intimate lens of scale, subversion and vulnerability to amplify body and dress.

Ideals of female sexuality, particularly 1960s lingerie narratives, are redrawn to address broader contexts concerning equality, and instead, create female sensuality. The collection is enforced by artisanal and contemporary lingerie techniques and fabrications to be sentimental and treasured for more sustainable practices in fashion consumption.
