0.1 Aposematic Collection
Aposematism is a biological phenomenon where organisms advertise their unprofitability or toxicity to potential predators through distinctive coloration or other means in order to repel them.0.2 Coquette Movement
Defined by a blend of charm, femininity, and flirtatiousness, the coquette aesthetic represents a troubling intersection where youthfulness and sexuality converge. Online influencers perpetuate this trend, promoting images and behaviors that blur the lines between innocence and seduction. Young girls are influenced by media–they learn by observing, imitating, and making behaviors their own without understanding the root and consequences of these trends.
