I am not an object is an exploration of the dichotomies of gender equality between progressive Sweden and traditional India. With the focus on interlacing techniques, the designer draws the connection between women’s rights and Kinbaku through sex positive feminism.
The collection celebrates powerful women, feminism, the female hero/warrior/fighter, the brave, intellectual and successful goddess through a bold series of highly detailed fashion wearables.
Melissa Barrass is multi-disciplinary artist with a focus and passion for wearables where both graphic and textile design can be used collaboratively. She aims to always design socially responsibly and with a story at heart.
