My name is Pauline Blind, a female fashion designer specializing in knitwear and fabric manipulations. My passion lies in discovering innovative knitting techniques and creating textiles that accentuate the female form, blending contemporary design with feminine elegance. My work is deeply influenced by societal issues, driven by a desire to provoke thought and inspire change.

​

The initial inspiration for my concept stemmed from reflecting on the phrase "a girl is a gun" and its versatile interpretations. As a young woman navigating a society that often teaches girls how not to be victims instead of preventing boys from becoming predators, I explored this phrase within the context of victim blaming. It embodies the idea of women being shamed for their vulnerabilities, framed as the danger, "the gun," rather than focusing on the perpetrators. This reflection inspired me to create a concept that celebrates femininity and sensuality, reclaiming them as symbols of beauty and power instead of shame or blame.

​

In my designs and material choices, I aimed to convey this message of reclaiming femininity by showcasing the various ways women can be empowered. The materials I selected celebrate traditional femininity through elements like lace, ruffles, and pearls, while enhancing it with contrasting components like handwear, transparency, and sportswear influences. My extensive practical research into silhouettes and textile experimentation has culminated in a haute-à-porter collection of seven looks, envisioning a culture where women can freely and unapologetically express their sensuality while feeling safe and celebrated.

​

My fashion collection is tailored for confident, empowered women who embrace their femininity as a source of strength and express it through diverse fashion styles. These women are outspoken about societal issues and seek garments that reflect and resonate with their values. They enjoy wearing pieces that blend innovative design with contemporary elegance, allowing them to feel both sensual and secure.
