"This collection invites us into an audacious exploration of willfulness and the captivating trope of the female villain. Laura Gerte's designs sculpt radical silhouettes that artfully fuse raw femininity with future punk aesthetics. Each piece dances with vitality, twisting and pulsing with an energy that is as playful as it is defiant, provocative yet soft, fragile yet resilient. Crafted from reclaimed clothing, deadstock, and recycled textiles, Gerte's garments transform the remnants of the past into textile hybrids that tell stories of their previous lives."
"Inspired by the cultural narratives surrounding the female villain, Deviant Defiant delves into themes of willfulness, mythology, otherness, and the multifaceted experience of womanhood. This collection challenges societal expectations, reimagining villainous women not as cautionary figures but as powerful embodiments of agency and autonomy. The female villain serves as a mirror, reflecting cultural anxieties surrounding female power, knowledge, sexuality, and maturity. She becomes evil simply by refusing to be subdued."
"In this collection, the figure of the villainess is rendered anew, stripped of cliche and costume. Dark hues of sculpted wool, fluid jersey, rigid leather, and ethereal mesh play together, highlighted through rich textures and innovative drape. The resulting silhouettes are slim and elongated, yet captivatingly disrupted by unexpected volumes, an embodiment of Gerte's vision of strength touched with fragility."
