The ‘Female Perversions’ skirt is adorned with hand-drawn monochrome legs which mirror Susan Streitfeld’s 1996 film’s poster. When we spoke to the director, Susan Streitfeld, about the film, she told us how courageous Tilda was to take on the role of Eve; the film (and its protagonist) had no precedence. Female Perversions is a confronting film (even the title accosts us), which explores themes and ideas relating to the contemporary female experience. We highly recommend watching it!
HADES studio collaborated closely with Swinton at every step of the design and manufacturing process of this collection. This process culminated in a collective June visit to the HADES manufacturing factory in Scotland, where Swinton met with the craftspeople who create the knitted jumpers and scarves in this collection.
The ‘Female Perversions’ skirt has been constructed from 100% cotton in Somerset, England by Anna and Alla.
