Personal fashion and musings
Like most of my generation, I have grown up in a culture of fast fashion; in a society that not only allows it, but encourages it. From a young age we are lured into the notion that we must always have ‘new’, a desire that is made suspiciously easy thanks to the cheap prices boasted [...]
