A Girl Is a Gun
a collection by Pauline Blind

Introducing "A Girl is a Gun," a fashion collection dedicated to empowering women by reclaiming and celebrating their femininity, born from my personal experience as a young woman navigating a society where discussions of assault and harassment are met with skepticism & doubt and a woman’s sensuality are used as a tool to blame the victim.
​
My aim is to create a collection that inspires women of similar experiences to reclaim their agency and celebrate their femininity and sensuality and like that push for changing the perception of women and their vulnerability. By challenging societal norms, I’m aiming to educate both predators and those who enforce victim-blaming attitudes. Within my collection I want to envision a culture where women can freely and unapologetically express their sensuality, feeling safe and celebrated.
​
The collection features garments that play with contrasts like opaqueness and transparency, elegance and sportiness, flowing and stiff fabrics, to showcase the versatile and complex ways to empower women and express femininity.
​
"A Girl is a Gun" is an activist way to use fashion as a message. It’s my approach to rewrite the narrative, where femininity is not a weakness but a source of strength and empowerment
