Exposure vs Armour This exhibition features layered photographs showcasing the strength of clothing as armour and the vulnerability we experience when it's removed. Inspired by our appreciation for metallics, women's gym wear, Air Force 1s, and low-waist jeans, the concept evolved from our exploration of fashion's role in protecting us from external chaos, leading to the central theme of Armour vs. Exposure.
Key themes explored:
The protective allure of fashion as armour
The vulnerability exposed when layers are shed
The pressure to conform to societal norms versus celebrating individuality through fashion
Skills demonstrated:
Conceptualisation and theme development
Photography and visual storytelling
Research and thematic exploration
Advocacy for body positivity and self-expression through fashion
