Is The Next Knight In Shining Armor Female?

Project 2011 Outfit

A fitted jacket with zipper closure is encrusted with Swarovski crystals that serve as a reminder of shining armor. The huge crystalized stars at each shoulder represent the mace - a weapon

used by knights engaged in battle that protected their homeland - and a star shape

to place honor and stardom at the shoulders of the women that have given so much

of themselves. They have given us guidance and encouragement as well as fought

for our basic rights. True warriors and true stars!

The white outfit is also draped in soft heat pleated ruffles down the lapels to the

calves because women are gentle, loving mothers too. The gloves are sparkling

gauntlets, again harkening back to the imagery of the "knight" , as well as the boots

that shimmer in rhinestones and dozens of highly polished , dangling spheres. Top-

ping off the outfit is an array of crystal jewelry that is strong and bold, yet feminine.

The earrings are huge chunks of crystal as is the necklace. The cross on the jacket

is a pin cut from one piece of crystal. The other decorations on the jacket are also

pins.

This costume and all other decorations are inspired by and dedicated to the

power and the beauty of females everywhere.
