"Self-love" handbag collection
The problem of my diploma collection is based on the phenomenon that nowadays the constant use of social media is causing psychological addiction in many people, from teenagers to adults. My masterwork attempts to answer the negative effects of social media on the psyche. Through its form, structure, details, and use of materials, it helps the wearer to trigger self-soothing mechanisms more easily. The body-hugging shapes, the use of soft materials that give a feeling of security and the details that help to relieve tension all serve this purpose. My collection is based on personal experience, but the lessons can be generalised.
thesis
The impact of media on our self-evaluation
The topic of my thesis was based on personal experiences. In the thesis I explore the mainly negative effects of the media such as comparison, idealisation, cosmetic surgical interventions, body dysmorphic disorder, and eating disorders. There are campaigns that offer some solutions to these problems for young people with similar self-acceptance problems. In the last part of the thesis, I dealt with self-love and self-acceptance and sought answers to what could help to create a more stable self-esteem.
