TINY MISS MARYLAND QUEEN OF HOPE
High heels, a tiny bikini and a big smile with bleu-white teeth. ‘Oh how adorable!’ and an ovation comes out of the audience. The American Tiny Miss Pageants, little girls at the age of 3, give me a shameful feeling. It looks like a disturbed children’s party.
My fashion fabric collection is inspired by these mixed feelings. A wrongly washed lycra with pony tails or a nude coloured latex with faded garlands are examples of fabrics. The serie of photographs give the second layer and underlines the confusion.
