The show was organized with the help of students at the National College. The students worked as models, narrators and photographers for the event. The show included narration of real life stories of sexual assault victims where the models impersonated attires similar to that of the victims in their stories.
The fashion show depicted how stereotypical and conservative beliefs led the victims onto blaming themselves and their choice of clothing for the abuse they’ve endured. The show also highlighted how men are pressurized into hiding their sensitive side and “manning-up”.
