One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.

To me, being a woman in 2016 is allowing myself to contain multitudes. Looking at who's given the space to do so and why.

I feel lucky in that I don't really have to go to college to study something job-specific. I just want to go to learn about what is interesting to me and learn about the classes that you don't really get to take in high school because you have to take the basics.

It brings me no joy and not enough comfort to dwell too much on things I've said or written or made or worn in the past.

"Girly" can be limiting if you're told it's the only option. I don't think the solution is to get rid of the girly stuff or decide it's oppressive and get mad at a singer or book for not ACCURATELY REPRESENTING ALL WOMEN. There just needs to be more options for girls who don't identify with the girly aesthetic, and can broaden the idea of what being a girl means. Similarly, there needs to be more of that stuff that can be aesthetically girly, but feminist in the actual message.

Fashion intersects a lot with art and film and music, and that was appealing to me. I read a bunch of fashion blogs and wanted to be part of the community.

I think it'd be great to own a fun concept store with my friends and just sell books and records.
