Erin Howard

Raw, unapologetic, and unrefined. She does not conform; it disrupts.

This project connects mechanics and craft, engineering and artistry,

destruction and precision. By taking on my brother’s persona as a

mechanic, I embrace the closest form of masculinity I know—welding his

world of metal, structure and function with my world of fabric, form,

and expression.

"The modern woman accepts masculine values... she prides herself on

thinking, taking action, working, creating on the same terms as a

man."This collection pushes beyond that—not just working on the same

terms, but redefining them entirely.

Tailoring collides with draping. Leather and metal—beaten, welded, raw—

exist alongside unfinished edges and lived-in fabrics. Masculinity and

femininity are not opposites but interwoven forces. If rage,

indulgence, mess, and loudness are unladylike, this collection

celebrates them. It is about women who do not shrink, refuse to be

polished and palatable, and take up space in their way.

This is clothing for the outrageous, for those who reject the obvious

idea of femininity. It is not about being delicate—it is about being

undeniable.
