# Project Description The Case For Misandry Maeve Drumm Huthwaite Summary Final work Maeve is a designer and researcher working at the intersection of fashion, feminism, and speculative design. Through garments and soft robotic forms, her practice confronts the politics of looking, exposing how bodies are sexualised, monitored, and controlled within visual culture.

College London College of Fashion Course MA Fashion Futures Graduation year 2025 The female body is relentlessly objectified, positioned as spectacle and consumed by a disciplining gaze. To be sexualised is to be rendered passive, existing for another’s pleasure. This project resists such containment, transforming the violence of objectification into forms that repel and confront. Eyes stare back, tentacles writhe with unruly desire, and bodies oscillate between seduction and monstrosity. Through soft robotic experiments and speculative garments, the work animates figures that refuse compliance. Movement becomes expressive and antagonistic, shifting vulnerability into threat. The garments embrace monstrosity as a feminist force, reclaiming eroticism from passivity and control. Rage, excess, and discomfort are mobilised as tools of resistance rather than spectacle. The work unsettles the gaze that seeks to dominate and consume. It does not offer itself for easy viewing or pleasure. It insists on confrontation, refusal, and autonomy.

Together, the works explore objectification, surveillance, and discomfort, positioning the body as an active agent that resists consumption and control.
