THIS COLLECTION IS BASED ON THE TROPE OF CONTRACTUAL 

PURITY WITHIN THE MADONNA/WHORE COMPLEX AND SET TO A BACKDROP OF EARLY 19TH CENTURY FASHION.

 A CONSERVATIVE BRITISH LOOK IS USED AS A STARTING POINT FOR THE MADONNA WHO ENDS IN AN EXPERIMENTAL FRENCH STYLE AS THE WHORE. SHE ALSO TRANSITIONS FROM THE HEAVIER WOOLS TO LIGHTER WEIGHT SILKS, KEEPING A BASE OF GAUZY CHIFFON FROM DRESSES OF THE ERA.

AS THE MADONNA FIGURE BECOMES CORRUPTED THE 

COLOR PALETTE TRANSFORMS TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE FROM PASTEL PINKS TO DEEP REDS. 

THE EMBROIDERY MOTIF ALSO FOLLOWS IN THIS VEIN. AS 

MADONNA DETERIORATES IN THE EYES OR HER MALE 

COUNTERPARTS, THE MOTIF DOES AS WELL. 

 

IN THE END THE ONCE VENERATED MADONNA IS HATED FOR NOTHING MORE THAN AN INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF RULES.
