Little Whack Dress
Fashion Design (BFA), 2024
In the "Little Whack Dress" collection, the designer provocatively comments on class distinctions by merging skate culture with upper-class elegance. Beyond challenging norms, the fusion sparks a dialogue on existing class divisions in the fashion industry.
