Influential stereotypes too often dictate the fashion styles of women. Visual Misconception draws a positive outlook on feminist issues where women’s views are commonly perceived as ‘too strong’ or ‘too expressive’. Bringing the capability to voice inner views by sophisticated exposure, this autumn/winter 2016/17 trend captures variety and equality through material combinations. Feminist fashion can be represented by a fusion of oppositions. With a clear contrast between vulnerability and confidence, Visual Misconception brings ‘the power to see’.
