Inspired by my master project „Real Look“, I proudly created the underwear collection „Chastity“ to celebrate the strength of women. Five women tell their personal stories about how their bodies changed during certain periods in their lives.

Illustrator Salome Eichenberger created the pattern from the ruta flower. In Lithuanian folklore the flower symbolises the glory of feminine power, of purity and youthful chaste.

In collaboration with photographer Laima Kavaliauskaite, “Chastity” epitomises the beauty around the impact change can have on the body, leaving life scars. How these represent overcoming hardship and the transition from youthful purity to becoming strong women.
