This collection reimagines the Siren, a figure of cross-cultural attraction and fear, as a symbol of reverence for women. Coursing through myth and legend, the Siren embodies patriarchal fear of feminine seduction and power. Achieved through an exploration into fabric manipulation and draping, the designs evoke the textures of the Siren's environment, exploring the complex interplay between nature, the body and femininity.
