15 powerful photos break the connection between 'sexy' clothes and sexual assault. (upworthy.com)

For her thesis project, Arcadia University senior Katherine Cambareri took pictures of clothes. But while the photos might appear ordinary, they’re anything but.

All the items she photographed were worn by students while they were sexually assaulted.

"Well, What Were You Wearing?"- Cambareri's senior thesis project - aims to challenge how society can blame survivors of sexual assault by questioning the way they dress, she says.

Cambareri says the project was inspired by the book "Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town" by Jon Krakauer, a moving narrative of sexual assaults at the University of Montana.
