If women no longer allowed to be simply beautiful and sexy, what then?

I was moved and inspired by a movie called ‘XXY’; The potential for this film to go very wrong was great. After all, hermaphroditism – more commonly referred to as intersexuality these days – is a subject that could easily end up being played for its ‘freak’ value. That XXY explores the issue carefully from the emotional viewpoint, without being exploitative makes it all the more remarkable when you consider that this is Lucía Puenzo’s directorial debut.

it makes me to think deeply about the relationship between femininity and power. So, if women no longer allowed to be simply beautiful and sexy, what then?


With this issue, I have looked at the history of women’s lingerie which point out: in 1960s, many believed the sexual bridges had been burned down for women, however of the 1990s, women want to be seductive and sexy once again but in a self-assured way. The woman has to have assimilated her femininity and dare to show it in a forceful way.

 I am going to find a new way for lingerie to celebrating women, to be both free and desirable, both liberated and powerful. Lingerie is not only about eroticism, it is a self-expression. 


 Women are no longer trying to please men or seek any confirmation of their beauty. I want to make women hold the looks and control themselves. We are strong, powerful and independent but still provocative.

My secondary inspiration comes from the basic shape of square and circle from modern architecture which I have started my initial idea to combine femininity with masculinity, mix the strong and modern structured silhouette with female curvy shape and these will be impacted on structured underwear.
