'Where I walk' graduate collection by Nikola Dzigda.

" I remember as a teenager that my paternal grandfather once said, " women with skirts can run faster than men with their trousers down" as a sexist joke. Walking and sometimes running in the hills in a skirt is a revalation. An exercise in rare freedom. I urge you to try it. Trousers can bunch and pull on thighs, reining in the limbs and muscles, but a skirt is all space. A skirt is a modest, but commodious, version of a birthday suit. It seems to me that a skirt also holds promise of a different sort of material understanding: the same stretch of land seems altered when you navigate it in a skirt, you notice different things about it. A skirt is a kalidoscope, it brings different things into view. Isn't that what we need? to see the world more fully?" Nikola Dzigda
