Dignity, self-expression, and fashion

Dignity, self-expression, and fashion

Clothes give definition to a person; they accentuate one’s personality. For me and most fashionistas I have known in life, fashion is not only about the runways; rather, it’s about the city streets and the village markets

Brightening up our lives with bold hues

Brightening up our lives with bold hues
