DELIA'S PRIZEFIGHTER

DELIA'S PRIZEFIGHTER

This womens-wear collection is conversely inspired by male boxing culture during the mid 20th century in Ireland.
the work plays on the stereotypical identity polarities of an earlier era.

Throughout the collection, there is an interplay between established tailoring techniques and moments of experimental design and construction.
The neat silhouette of a 1940s women’s costume is contrasted against the bulky physique of the star boxer’s body, idealised during the same era.
