The inspiration for my collection, “To Be The Wild Woman You Are,” began in my school classroom, where I have always been surrounded by a predominantly female environment. This led me to reflect on the role of women in the current fashion industry, particularly the challenges faced by female designers who are also mothers. In this fast-paced industry, which demands ultimate devotion, I questioned how women manage the balance between parenthood and their careers. As a female fashion student hoping to become a professional designer, I wanted to explore this relationship, raise these crucial questions, and bring awareness to the fashion industry about the need for support for women balancing motherhood and their professional lives.
