I believe that the idea of the photos is to show a woman's femininity does not come from the clothes on her back. For, example, the women are in the men's suits but still appear to be ‘womanly’ in their pose and attitude. This shows that the suits act as barriers between a feminine attitude and men's apparel. From this collection, I would take Torres’ idea of using a underlying metaphor in the photography.
