S.O.S. fashion show

The initial inspiration for this fashion collection came from my desire to manipulate expanding technology through a feminine lens. This previous summer my interest in sci-fi media escalated as I reconnected with films I watched as a child and explored more from the genre. I grew up with my sci-fi infatuated father, watching Star Wars and Matrix movies, but at the time failed to connect with these films. Now with the ever-expanding use of technology and artificial intelligence, I still feel a disconnect from the technology where sleek, minimalistic appearance and upheaval of convenience feels is simultaneously representative of a overpowering masculinity. However, after reconnecting with these films and discovering other sci-fi films like Barbarella, The Fifth Element, and the X Files series, I began to understand the fantasy, sex appeal, and creative potential of sci-fi technology aesthetics. When I placed expanding technology under a lens of femininity and mystique it creates an inspiring world full of extreme boldness and paradoxical abstraction. It’s this futuristic fever dream of a world that the S.O.S. collection evokes and what drove me to develop futuristic and domineering representations of female sensuality.
