PADINA BONDAR
XX- GLOW
This gown is a part of the ongoing XX collection that is inspired by, and dedicated to women’s issues around the world. My goal is to raise awareness about the gender-based violations of human rights and to unite fashion and politics in a way that speaks to a broad audience. Art, technology, anatomy, and design are combined to create an interactive gown that will engage and challenge audiences, while shining a light on the scope of public awareness.
