The "Innocence Lost" collection takes inspiration from the aesthetics of Barbie, punk, and gothic styles. By combining these influences, a narrative about the journey to maturity is meticulously crafted, elucidating the title's meaning. In this tale, Barbie, an enduring symbol of childhood and femininity, loses its charm as the woman matures.
Putting aside dolls and juvenile concerns, the protagonist embarks on a quest for identity, seeking ways to express individuality through appearance. The goal is to rebel against the societal myth of the perfect image, a pursuit that often triggers insecurities and disrupts mental balance. A clear aversion to all things pink, soft, girly, and carefree begins to surface.
In the collection, the focus is on reconciling the little girl with the societal rebel, avoiding the imposition of shedding childhood fantasies for the sake of maturity, expression, and creative defiance. The collection seamlessly blends the enchanting girlishness of Barbie with the solemn rebellion reminiscent of youth subcultures.
