Fashion Design
Beauty Reframed challenges society’s fear of female aging by reimagining it as a powerful transformation through the language of tailoring. Drawing inspiration from 1920s–1940s menswear, the collection explores structure, proportion, and precision to convey confidence and strength. Sculptural collars and refined silhouettes frame the face, celebrating individuality and self-assurance. Through craftsmanship and timeless design, Beauty Reframed honours aging as an evolution of beauty, power, and self-acceptance.
