3. Personal philosophy
I believe that fashion is not about the designer
but the consumer. Everyone deserves to be
happy in their skin, love themselves, and have
the confidence to face the challenges they will
have in life. Everyone is different and although
there may be similarities in styles, no one
choice is correct. That should be celebrated.
