PISTILS
PISTILS
Collection researched and developed at the Paris College of Art in Fall 2022. Elsa Schiaparelli inspired, Military x Evening Wear, directed by Rosemary Rodriguez.
Pistils, meaning the female reproductive organ of a flower, is often misheard as pistols. This is the essence of the collection — strength and violence shrouded in softness, representative of true femininity and the cycles of use women go through.
What is the spectacle of womanhood? How do we find power in it? How do we combat societal conceptions of femininity by finding a reverence for it?
