MAKE IT
FASHION
Like it or not, what we find beautiful is largely affected by social currents—which now loosely translates to "what's trending", in our digital age. As it happens, the ability to reduce the magnum opus of a design genius into a single unflattering picture accompanied by bold text to point out the resemblance of a look to a somewhat plebeian concept, is #trending. Behold, the democratisation of things once revered; who knew fashion would make for such perfect meme material?
But instead of taking offence, we think that embracing the attention is the way to go!
The success of fashion has always boiled down to the confidence of its wearer.
