The inverted self is a long project of self analysis and breaking down ones likes and dislikes. Through exploring fashion and myself, I decided to focus my project on the culture of western weddings and especially wedding dresses.
Wedding dresses symbolize purity and the vail has many different interpretations, such as protecting the bride from evil spirits before getting married. At first reading this I liked the idea of a wedding veil, however after reading more into it I understood that the protection was only there when the bride is being exchanged from the father to the husband, as she is not protected by a man at this point. So through more research on the topic, I wanted to create an outfit that expresses my inverted self, a wedding dress made only of veils, but for the protection of oneself.
