power lines: a women’s network

explores the visual language of women in the workplace before the digital era, when professional networks were built through phone calls, personal introductions, and word of mouth rather than algorithms.

Inspired by 1980s fashion editorials and the rise of women entering corporate leadership spaces, the series reimagines the aesthetics of power dressing, communication, and ambition through a contemporary lens. Bold color palettes, exaggerated silhouettes, and vintage technology like corded telephones, early computers, and pagers become symbolic artifacts of a pre-internet professional culture where connection was physical, direct, and personal.

The imagery presents women not as competitors but as collaborators. Each subject represents a different creative discipline, forming a visual ecosystem of mutual support rather than hierarchy.

The series was created for What She Said, a platform connecting women across creative industries, and reflects that mission directly: community-driven, collaborative, and built by women.
