Fashion is a coping mechanism.

I will stand on that bridge until it crumbles. It has been through artists and actors like Rihanna and Zendaya that that statement has never been more true. They are women who inspire me to love myself more. And companies like Everlane inspire those same sentiments. Everlane is a sustainable fashion brand that employs social responsibility into every piece they design and produce. They give high praise to all of their artisans and have a efficacy grading system for the factories that produce their clothes. But greater than their achievements in walking the walk when it comes to being a high(ish) end fashion brand that is rooted in their mission, their clothes just make you feel good. All of my life I was waiting for something to define me and make me feel like the adult I felt like internally. And through my teens and early twenties I turned to fashion, similarly in the way in which other women have, to fake it till I made it in feeling whole. What i’ve learned is that beauty is comfort.
