The Reflection
Lilly Turmel
The Reflection is a collection that follows the story of someone who believes they are voluntarily giving their body away, and dealing with the insecurity and sense of voyeurism that comes with self-objectification. At what point is self-objectification having your body taken from you instead of wilfully given?
The collection is inspired by the uncomfortable yet glamorous aesthetics of gothic horror. Through lingerie-inspired clothing, a touch of evening wear, and jewelry design methods such as beading and chainmail, The Reflection is a method of storytelling through fashion; taking pieces of what we consider sexy and mysterious and bringing them into something more sinister and personal.
