“HOW I DRESS DOES NOT MEAN YES”

A corset and jumper I made for my pathway project “Then And Now” — (Planning to later use photos for a poster).

Initially, I started looking at how fashion had changed through the ages, but the general history involved within this research inspired me to explore some more feminist movements. I then researched sexual assault cases and the artistic response to them, (one of which being very eye-opening to an often close-minded audience: https://www.boredpanda.com/what-were-you-wearing-sexual-assault-art-exhibition/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic)

This motivated me to make two items of clothing: a tighter fitting, modern corset, as well as a baggy, oversized jumper. Through my work I want to demonstrate how no matter what anyone wears— either gender, they are not asking for “it”.
