Story time! This is LOOK03 RIPPLE from my FLOW collection, and although it’s all about unlocking your flows, I’ve got a pretty clogged flow story to tell you first 🪠
Indeed, like many people with a uterus, I suffer from dysmenorrhoea, more commonly known as « period pains ». Beyond the pain, I’ve always had a complex relationship with my cycles - but that’s a topic for another day💫
On my healing journey I came to understand a few things. Basically, the elements that would block my body (unbalanced stress levels/food/exercise) would also block my flow, cause pain and force me to pause. Conversely, if I maintained a more balanced lifestyle, my cycle would flow with less pain and symptoms (much easier said than done!).
Logically, happy cycles meant happy life, as I wasn’t rolling around in pain and unable to do anything but hold onto a hot water bottle. BUT the reverse was also true: happy life, with a healthy dose of stress and a serious dose of purpose, would ensure painless flows. Interesting, right?
So what if clothing could unlock your physical flows, which in turn would unlock your mental flows?🤯
I set out to explore what role fashion could play in this synergy. I looked at my favourite clothes and what I wear when I have my period. I thought about how I wanted my outfits to make me feel on those days. With FLOW, I wanted to create outfits that would give a feeling of comfort and gentle support; looks that would allow someone’s body to flow freely. In the hope that physical fluidity would make more room for mental flow opportunities🌊.
