Inside Insights
Proposing another outlook on fashion (often from a more objective viewpoint) through the written work of people outside of the very system. Diving inside outsiders’ insights.
Proposing another outlook on fashion (often from a more objective viewpoint) through the written work of people outside of the very system. Diving inside outsiders’ insights.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Outside your own sight,
so many visions.
Outside your own mind,
so many thoughts.
Inside other’s writing,
so many insights.
