Entry Description

"(Un) Professional Fabulous" draws inspiration from the often-overlooked issue of implicit bias in society, exploring how workplace dress codes reflect and reinforce societal stereotypes. Genevieve Li deconstructs traditional officewear by blending masculine and feminine elements to challenge fixed ideas of gender and professionalism. Through sharp tailoring, unexpected fabric contrasts, and subversive graphic prints, the collection reveals the unspoken rules that shape perceptions of identity and appropriateness in professional settings.
