Book Project
I have always been attracted to the Fashion Industry. From a young age I knew I wanted to be a part of the fashion community but I did not know it was a career someone could pursue, if you weren’t a designer. Fashion has been an outlet to express my creativity and feel a connection to my community and peers. It is not about the dress we wear, but the body modifications and the adornments we wrap ourselves in. What I wear expresses who I am and who I want to be. Every article of clothing and accessory has a meaning. This book tells fifteen stories of my most memorable life events through dress.
