The clothes I make for Tosca Blue Shop are based on specific ideas, inspired by different theories. The Madonna-Whore complex is one of the theories. Originally it is a theory about the dysfunction of male sexuality. But rather than pointing fingers and hating on men, I'd like to focus on women and our collective experience of expressing our sexuality.
The problem with the Madonna-Whore complex is that no person falls completely into one category. Almost every human being is born with the need to express their sexuality. This can be done in thousands of different ways. Trying to divide women into two unrealistic boxes is irrational and short-sighted.
Trying to pigeonhole women by their dress style, is even more short-sighted. One woman feels sexy in a silk blouse. The other woman feels sexy in a long, wide dress. The amount of skin shown, has nothing to do with a woman's worth. Every woman deserves respect, no matter how she chooses to dress or how she expresses her sexuality. Being and feeling sexy is a very personal experience which should never be judged by anyone. Some women only feel comfortable by being sexy with one partner and cover up their bodies completely when going outside the house. They decided their beauty, sensuality & sexuality are exclusively for them and their partner. Keeping this as private as possible is a personal choice. Some women want to feel & dress sexy outside the house and dress like an ugly, smelly homeless person inside.
Other women like to feel sexy 24/7, be open about it with the whole world and make more money than you and me ever will.
Shaming women for expressing their sexuality is harmful. Prudeness is a form of shame & suppression of feelings that are part of being human. Women decide when, where and how often they want to feel sexy, not society or men.
F**k being prude. Wear and do whatever makes you feel sexy when you want to feel sexy (as long as it’s legal).
From this mindset, I create clothes for ToscaBlue Shop. Sometimes I use a lot of fabric for a garment, sometimes I use little fabric. But whatever you wear from ToscaBlue, you deserve respect for all sides of your womanhood ❤️
