Women in fashion is a topic that is often discussed yet rarely understood. The very women who take great courage to express themselves through fashion are the women in our daily lives.  This blog is dedicated to inspiring, uplifting, and reminding the world that iconic women have shown their resilience from the choices of shoes, a bold lipstick, a messy ponytail, a deep-v blouse or a knee-length skirt. Although to some, these choices may be insignificant (Which is fine) it is very crucial to remember that without the muse there is no statement, no style, and no argument that can be delivered.

            Fashion is the highlight and one of the biggest purposes of my life. But I would be ignorant if I did not recognize the discrimination and lack of diversity in the industry, especially in the use of models. There is not enough representation in the industry to truly value its consumers. Not only is there a huge lack of diversity but there are many people in the industry who have huge responsibilities in the decision processes that do not even know what true diversity is. I aim to fight for people of all colors, disabilities, sizes and age groups to be appreciated and honored through fashion. Fashion should be a safe space that allows creativity to flow effortlessly in the physical form of clothing. As the industry seems to be filled with greed and focuses on only their profits, there are still innocent people who are dying and suffering from the labor of fast fashion.

            On certain blog posts, I will be using materials from photoshoots that I have personally directed. I hope that this will potentially help convey an artistic platform for the blog. I am also looking forward to Unit 2 and Unit 3 projects, in which I would love to involve different women that personally inspire me in my daily life.
