Cassidy Dennis

This collection explores and deconstructs femininity and sexuality to create a fashion narrative where the wearer feels empowered and sexy within themselves, and not at the expense of another person’s desires or ideals. Persephone focuses on the natural curve of the female form to inspire designs that combine sensual, delicate, and tough materials, with textures and colours that allow the wearer to style their identity through visual self-expression. Looks are inspired by oppressive historical garments which imbue confidence and empowerment, encouraging the wearer to break free from preconceived societal ideals and expectations.
