Chiselled face, prettiest of them all.
Dripping diamonds, sold your soul.
Avaricious surgeons pump you with plastic; moulded like clay, but surgical markings and scalpel carvings won’t cut the pain away.
The scars on your body are scars to your heart; your body a canvas, cuts and bruises your art.
After each plastic remedy, a new limb askew.
Every old modification conflicting the new. The cycle of insecurity, powered solely by wealth.
The hierarchy of beauty, controlled by mental health.
Boost your confidence, by all means.
Look how you want, but mean it or it won’t make you happy.

“Fashion is a statement, it has a political role and is a way to highlight the consciousness of the society at that time.”

E.G.O. acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their continued connection and contribution to land, water and community, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded; this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
