Under the Naked Light

This collection reimagines Blanche Dubois in the 21st century, reverts her vulnerability into strength, stepping out of the shadows of her shaded lamp. Her downfall was her inability to adapt into the new working world when all she knew was comfort from men, to cope she puts on a facade of youth. Instead of New Orleans, perhaps coming to the 21st century could have resulted a different ending to her story

Below narrates the processes of my exploration; design, experiment, and making.

Sponsored by Swarovski Crystal, and Solstiss Lace

The process started by exploring Blanche's sexual desires through dance, imagining her being true to who she is in the place where she is most comfortable in - privacy of a bath (in this case - shower)

Through experimentations with wire, crystal, and lace, this 3-look capsule embodies Blanche's vulnerability and desire of youth, added a splash of strength in confidence.
