Dysmorphia tells of the authentic beauty that goes beyond superficial appearances. It is found in the depth of character, in the intensity of the gaze, in the story that every mark on the body tells. A face marked by time or a body that is not perfectly toned has a beauty that tells stories, conveys emotions and connects with others on a deeper level. It is this depth that dysmorphia wants to explore, highlighting how flaws can enrich a person’s essence, giving them a beauty that does not fade with time but becomes a powerful armour.

This new aesthetic is not only about form but also about substance. The fabrics chosen, which are often unconventional, create a dialogue between the body and the dress, inviting the wearer to explore his or her physicality in a different way, less constrained by standards and freer to express what is authentic. In this context, the dress becomes almost a second skin, not to mask, but to reveal. In conclusion, dysmorphia is not just an individual battle, but a cultural issue that requires a radical change in the way we perceive the body and beauty. Fashion, in this sense, stands as a mirror of society, capable of reflecting its contradictions but also offering solutions. And maybe it is through this new aesthetic of imperfection that we can find a way to reconcile with ourselves and our bodies, celebrating what makes us unique and unrepeatable.
