The fact is, there is only one body ideal in fashion, and most likely, you don't have it.

You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.

Being able to choose the skin I live in was the draw of fashion.

You have to let go of who you were to allow yourself to become who you are.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

There is something about a well-fitted modern jacket that feels like armor. If it's cut well, it adds a dose of cool to anything you wear it with and does the heavy lifting when it comes to creating a flattering shape.

I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.
