‘Question Authority’
Look #2 for Garb Sun-Urban 2024 Runway
Modeled by Aleyha Chaidez
This look draws inspiration from the 'office siren' aesthetic, blending classic business attire with a modern edge. Grey fabric from a business skirt was transformed into a pleated mini skirt, enhanced with grommet details, silver ties, and white lace trimming. The skirt is paired with a matching top and a reworked thrifted blazer, reimagining traditional symbols of authority with a defiant, more feminine perspective.
This design reflects the act of questioning authority and those in positions of power, while championing the fight for women in male fields. By reworking conventional office attire, the look challenges outdated norms and celebrates female empowerment, offering a vision of what it means to take charge and transform curiosity into risky action.
