But I Want To Be Perfect

Looking into what it takes to grow up, leaving the glitz and glam of what is perceived whilst maturing and focussing on topic areas that are considered taboo to be spoken about. Designing texture focussed garments with connotations to what are describes as 'unspeakable' areas of puberty. Using hairy legged models, pearl beading as spots and bodily line drawings as prints - as inspired by the Artist Tracey Emmings. There is a Feminsitic underlay to the project hitting topics about periods, the tampon tax and how period blood is banned from making any appearance on national tv.
