Emilly Malcher // Sinful Sanctity 

 

My final project is a reflection on being a Latin American woman and the way society perceive sexual desire. 

I grew up in Brazil, in a traditional, Catholic household, full of icons of saints, flowers, and other decorations, which were used for prayers.

In Brazil there’s a contradiction between the perception of sexuality as a weak point and which must be controlled. However, socially, sexuality is considered as powerful. 

Nudity, sex, eroticism, and desire holds an integral part in Brazilian culture.

The collection examines the complexity of Latin American traditions and sexual celebration and how it can be seen today. The collection is based on elements from Brazilian culture. It will combine oversized, yet tailored patterns taken from men’s fashion, and elements from lingerie; Embroidery, printing, leather work and diverse textile materials.
