LBD
This project took place in 2018 through out 2019; the theoretical part was taken up again in 2022 and currently there's a rethinking of the pieces; the shown pieces are from 2018.
Camp, an aesthetic that embraces the exaggerated and the artificial, has been a powerful tool of political expression for marginalized communities such as LGBTQ+, Latino, and Black.
In fashion, camp is used to challenge and subvert oppressive norms of gender, race and class. From iconic figures like Cher to contemporary designers like Jeremy Scott, camp has been a haven for diversity and inclusion.
The Little Black Dress (LBD) project fuses the simplicity of this garment with stories of women in difficult political situations, becoming a symbol of resistance and empowerment.
The LBD project celebrates camp and fashion as forms of liberation and expression, defying divisions and
liberation and expression, challenging the divisions between high and low culture and reminding us that the trivial can be deeply meaningful. It is a reminder that seriousness and frivolity can coexist.
