THE EATEN GIRLS

This project is dedicated to all the eaten girls who were ever devoured by the gaze. This project interrogates the fetishisation of femininity as constructed through the male gaze. Often framed as an act of visual pleasure, the male gaze functions as a mechanism that consumes and objectifies women, reducing them to fragments devoured through perception. In this light, "sexiness" is not a celebration of femininity, but a distorted fairytale, like an illusion devoured in the form of the female body. My work deconstructs this narrative by subverting the traditional symbols of sweet, languid femininity. Using elements such as layered frills and lingerie structures, I dismantle and reconstruct the forms of garments, echoing the act of "looking" as a metaphorical process of "eating. The silhouettes are stripped, crumpled, and grasped: gestures of consumption that reveal the violence inherent in representation. Through a colour palette of melon, banana, strawberry pink, sky blue, and denim, I reimagine the "girls' wardrobe" as a site of resistance. This manifesto is for the young urban challenger, the avant-garde thinker, and the aesthetic dissident: those who seek to reclaim femininity not as something subdued, but as something untouchable.
