Rachel Erica Correya, a Diploma student of Fashion Design curated The fashion collection “Embrace”, draws its inspiration from a profound revolt against traditional beauty standards. In a world often fixated on extremist beauty standards are often characterized by unrealistic and unattainable ideals that can significantly impact individuals’ self-esteem, mental health, and behavior. These standards are perpetuated by various societal influences, including media, fashion, and cultural norms, and can lead to various harmful consequences. “Embrace” finds beauty in the diverse spectrum of human beauty, celebrating the distinct features that make each person unique. Rather than concealing perceived flaws, the collection highlights them as distinctive attributes to be cherished. Scars, birthmarks, asymmetry, and other so-called imperfections are not flaws to be hidden, but rather, they are the very essence of individuality and character. The collection envisions to showcase all these so-called imperfections and the true beauty which lies within them.
