Collection „Womanhood“ is a lingerie collection inspired by the fragility of time and female body transformation in their thirties. It touched me personally, because I turned 30 this year, hence, the question - when is the time to appreciate my body?

Young girls always want to look older, however, once we reach that „older“ state, once you are 30, you think it is time to change something about your appearance. Consequently, the biggest question arises: when is the right age to feel comfortable within your body? To answer this question, I invited five different women in their thirties to share their experience, and to get inspired by their femininity and inner maturity.

Animal print is something associated with primal instinct and power, there is sexiness about it encoded in our society. We can fight it or use it to our advantage, emphasize the power of femininity and feeling confident in our bodies, just wearing tiny pieces of fabric.
