When we think of girlhood, we are impelled to look at representations and images of girls for what will be recognised as girlhood in society. My MA collection circles around the semiotics of Western girlhood, whereby I am particularly interested in how these images can be subverted into a feminist attitude through the use of handcraft. The process of reclaiming the concept of girlhood stands in the context of its marginalisation in patriarchal societies. With my collection I give my own take on a subversive form of girlhood in fashion, while aiming to play a part in opening girlhood as a creative attitude for more identities to embrace. I hope to reinterpret girlhood as a producer of culture that offers conceptual reflections on contemporary femininity.
