To all stocking- and high-heel-wearing feminists; to all pretty princesses who can negotiate the hell out of a contract; to all of you who insist on being both razor-sharp and blisteringly hot; to all ladies who love and recognise other women’s beauty, and see it as a strength; to all stunners who enjoy being objectified on their own terms; to all devastatingly gorgeous badasses out there:
You are my kind of woman (and I think we can do better than this skirt).  

Cynthia Krewson - Calendar Girl
Artist Statement: Calendar Girl is a celebration of two freedoms that feminism has imparted to the contemporary woman: the reproductive freedom made possible by the Pill and the freedom of expression modern Western fashion brings to women’s lives. The circular “talisman” of days and pills, a calendar that is so much a part of women’s daily routines, was the inspiration for the bold pattern on the skirt. Recalling a not-too-progressive era, the silhouette and materials serve to infuse the feminist iconography with a girly glamour that I hope will cause the viewer, as well the wearer, to appreciate the interconnectedness of these two freedoms—and not take them for granted!
