Two words born out of feminist punk culture and popularized by the Spice Girls, yet whose resonance reaches far beyond music. Today, they sound like an invitation to explore women’s place in the world — past, present and future.

Girl Power may be a pop slogan, but it carries the legacy of a century of struggles — that of Simone Veil, whose centenary we will celebrate in 2027, as well as those of the suffragettes, women workers, overlooked women artists, mothers and pioneers. Two hundred years ago, how were women represented? As muses, mothers, allegories… often looked at, rarely given agency. Today, things are changing: women create, lead and transform society.

So how can this female strength be expressed through textiles? Who are the women? How can they be represented? Are they gentle, fierce, powerful, geometric, organic? What colors and gestures can convey sisterhood, resilience and emancipation?

Girl Power is not a fight against something; it is a force for something. For solidarity, boldness and passing knowledge on.

Forget the clichés. Whether your work is a manifesto or a whisper, figurative or abstract, whether it questions or celebrates — dare to pursue depth as much as beauty.
