Called Vulvè, the "wearable art" is all about "empowering the individual to make their own choices around their anatomy".

Designer Bronte Leighton-Dore told BuzzFeed News: "As wearable art Vulvè aims to help breakdown the stigma and taboo surrounding the vulva and female genitalia, by transcending the gallery space and bringing the conversation into the open. Ultimately to help women feel confident and able talk about their bodies."

"I feel like the rise of social media has helped create a new platform for females to have a strong, clear voice," she said.

"These voices have already started an incredible conversation, with recent projects including the HeforShe campaign, Caitlin Stasey's Herself.com, and Jade Beall's A Beautiful Body Project. Vulvè is my personal contribution to this ongoing discussion."
