This season Gemma Slack brings us a super powered chic collection inspired by fetish and liberated super heroines and metal girls.
Known for combining extraordinary materials into tailored garments; Gemma Slack fuses leather and suede with aluminium and steel metals. Spring/Summer ‘10 gives the modern woman the opportunity to alter her appearance and become a super heroine. Hammered metal plates fastened to Slack’s signature black leather create self-made super hero garb.

Stirred by fem characters in classic comics, Gemma Slack links their fashion to that of heavy metal girls. Women generate their own power through style, like Batman or the self-styled rock idols of the 80’s. Women are unabashed and unapologetic about their sexual prowess. This collection reveals women’s natural contour through strategic peek a boo cuts. Slack’s super heroine is sexually liberated in latex bikini and leather bondage. She draws strength from fetishised femininity where flesh becomes costume.
Gemma Slack completes transformation through extended body garments and makes references to varying cultures, from the ornamental neck rings of Burmese women to Western cosmetic surgery. She uses biomechanics to combine body and science, replicating the ideology of transformation through costume.
