Sister Ties

  • Jelana ter Brugge

My graduation project is created for fashion designer Simone Rocha to develop a stronger relationship with her target group. The fashion film tells an abstract story about three orphans who create their own sisterhood. These sisters aren’t bounded by blood but formed their own sisterhood. They defined their hair as blood. The ritual of brushing and braiding each other’s hair forms their core of the sisterhood.

This is an unfamiliar generation of Sisterhood. We are not related by blood. We are sisters, formed by a bond that strengthens each of us every day. This Sisterhood won’t be guided by blood, family or time. A group of sisters who are shaped by modern ideas of femininity. We are strong, eternal and inextinguishable.
