The Genetic Wrap

This piece stands as an evocative representation of the interplay between genetics and the human condition. The dress is deliberately body-fitted, symbolizing how these conditions are inherently embedded within us, shaping and influencing our essence. Its DNA-inspired silhouette emphasizes the fundamental role of genetics in our lives while using Kantha stitching in the central panel adds texture and depth.

The soft skin-tone palette conveys an exterior of vitality and health, juxtaposed with the scattered conical embellishments symbolizing the physical and emotional pain inflicted by these conditions. 

Through this creation, I aim to provoke a conversation about the unseen battles fought within our bodies and to celebrate the resilience of those living with genetic challenges. It is a testament to how fashion can transcend aesthetics to become a medium for storytelling and empathy.
