Forward Fashion was an independent study project in which I created wearable art to represent different social issues that affect my generation. This piece represents gender inequality. My generation’s most prominent topic of discussion today, is finding one’s gender identity. Whether one views their gender as fluid or set in stone, the spectrum has an infinite number of places to land. The stereotypically male suit jacket has a long voluminous skirt sewn to the bottom to represent the female part of the gender spectrum. The white purity of the skirt refers to  innate instinct of gender identity that should always come from within. The material is wrinkly - this is a reference to the emotional and physical challenges of the transition.
