Statement

Fashion is a way to reinforce an idea whether it be personal, social or political; it is a chance to speak on achievements or issues through a different perspective. I think it is important to always have an open mind when it comes to any form of art, especially fashion design due to its communicative nature. My goal as an artist and fashion designer is to shed light on the language of fashion, helping others see fashion as a verb rather than a noun, dynamic rather than static, as a way to fluidly communicate. Whether your ideas be about yourself or the world around you, it is your chance to make a statement.
