Abstract
This chapter presents the personal reflections of a leading milliner for whom plastics is a chosen material, and one that represents a rejection of traditional materials and techniques in millinery practice. It explores an emancipatory role for plastics through references to art, film and fashion, including her own practice. It also draws on interviews with individuals who employ plastics not just as tools or as vehicles of self-expression but ingrain it into their personhood, using plastics not only to augment their physical selves but also to define for themselves a new mode of being. It proposes that plastics have not only the power to transform women but also to enable them to find their own, individual routes to power and self-actualisation.
