Fashion has always been a massive component of my self expression. I love playing around with the way I look and trying out different styles and ‘aesthetics’.
My dream is to work in the fashion industry. I’ve spent basically every dollar I’ve made working (at a high-end clothing store) on clothes. Hell, I’ve spent basically every waking moment thinking about clothing. As superficial as it sounds I love shopping and I fucking love clothes.
One of my biggest hobbies is keeping up with all the various fashion weeks and deep diving into collections and current/past designers.
The glamour! The spectacle! The politics! The controversies! I LOVE it all!
I've spent years paying for a Vouge online subscription so I could stay informed. I’ve spent hours researching the history of design houses, fabrics, different subcultures, sustainability in fashion, the societal impact of clothing, the psychology around it… the list could really go on forever. I’m not an expert by any means but all of the information, opinions, and resources I’ve collected over the years were wasting away just sitting in my notes app. Fashion is incredibly special to me and it needed a special place to be stored and admired.MY FASHION OVERVIEW
