Arna Inga Arnórsdóttir - Luminous Desire
This line is my way of defining the powerful woman A woman who owns her body completely by herself, is a gendered being without shame - and thus somehow untouchable so it describes by her, almost as if she is from another planet Since I started to grow up and become a woman, I have always hidden in the shadow of those around me, I have been afraid to take my place and I felt like my role on earth was to serve others Lately, though, I have been practicing taking up more space, being confident and not ashamed to be a sexual being The female body has throughout history been gendered but at the same time society has told women to be ashamed of their sexual desire Times are changing and I feel like the discussion about sex has become much more open.

The collection is my take on the powerful woman. A woman that has full ownership over her body, is a sexual being without shame - in a way untouchable and luminous, almost alien-like. Ever since I've started practicing to take up my space, be self-confident and not feel ashamed of being the sexual being. Through and feel the beautiful remains of the sex and feel of the society.
