(1/3) AAS 2019 Exhibition Theme: Juxtaposition// My garment focuses on the juxtaposition of the childhood of Black girls with that of their White counterparts. It embodies the contrast in society’s opposite perceptions of the two groups (delicate, feminine, soft, and modest vs. brute, hyper-sexual, mature, and independent.) and begins to explore the harmful effects and the lasting reactions to those assumptions— the lack of protection and freedom, sexualization, exposure, policing, and adultification of Black girls. The ensemble is aesthetically inspired by school-girl uniforms.
