THE POLITICS OF JAMAICAN DESIGN
Design is an integral part of human existence and survival, and survival is determined by the rules of the society we keep (or that keeps us), and these rules are not static. The rules of contemporary fashion are also in constant flux, being made and broken almost simultaneously. The basic rule of life, however, remains the same: live and let live. It is my goal to achieve a balance between these often conflicting systems of rules.
IS FASHION GOOD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?
Fashion is often seen as a superficial industry. For an industry centered around looking and feeling good, superficiality is its least attractive quality.

Beyond trends and styles, fashion serves as a medium for self-expression, empowerment, and even mental health support.
