Initiation is inspired by the Prom Ball, a symbolic celebration of young people’s coming of age.

Prom Balls mark the symbolic transition of our youth to the challenges of adult life. The young girls and boys of today organize loud parades, outfitted with distinctive attributes of show-off luxury: laden dress, expensive cars and behavior that conveys a message: I can do it all. For some this is the beginning of the long journey to their coveted successful future, for others – a celebration of the new freedom of choice and there are those who take part simply to meet the public’s expectations, too.
