PAIN DARKNESS ABOUT ANGER Inspired by South Africa’s Femicide demonstrations, with the rise of the hashtag ‘ AmINext.’ Which saw an influx of South African women protesting against gender-based abuse and femicide around the globe. The country was and still is, very hostile, especially between police and women. This was an outcry for women’s protection until the government took a chance to protect its people, specifically the women taking a stand in solidarity to tackle current issues in the country on femicide and female empowerment. The trend is inspired by heavy-duty fabrics and utility and military aspects which embody the females fighting for their protection. EMPOWERMENT AW 21/22 27 PROTECTION 26 WOMEN AW 21/22
