ARCHIVEBYAG FW27’ COLLECTION PROGRESS
From history to the body. The story behind the collection “The Art of Being Held”
This collection began with research-tracing the women’s rights movement, independence, and the strength women were taught to carry.
Through imagery, moodboards, and emotional mapping, I questioned what comes after strength: what happens when a woman no longer has to protect herself, and is allowed to soften.
The process unfolded through contrasts-structure and restraint, power and vulnerability, emotional armor and transparency. Layering became language. Fabrics shifted from weight to lightness, from protection to intimacy.
Sketches, fittings, and development reflected a quiet transformation: becoming, blossoming, being held.
What started as research slowly turned into feeling, form, and finally, garments-a collection shaped by care, tenderness, and the return to femininity through love.
