dreams
2020, an awakening and a reckoning alike. what will take with you into the new year?
i choose dreams, and living each day with intention, making each moment and each life matter, even in the smallest ways, by choosing gratitude, kindness and love.
happy new year! here is to great happiness, health, peace and joy!
xoxo,
fashion is love
dreams
hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.
hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow.

The African Diaspora and the theme of renewal was on the minds of Rosario Dawson and Abrimah Erwiah at Studio 189 who traveled to Ghana earlier this year by invitation of President Nana Akufo-Addo to celebrate Year of Return.
On the runway, diversity was celebrated through fabric, color, pattern, dance, song and symbolism.
The red white and blue stripes amidst the bold African prints stood out, particularly on the day before the anniversary of the September 11th tragedy. Vogue later shared in an interview with the designers that this nod was a way of exploring heritage and shared history.... https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2020-ready-to-wear/studio-189
This is the third year for me attending the show, consistently brilliantly theatrical and collectively shared, with costume and ceremony key to conveying the roots of the collection and the profound creative and social impulses propelling this women led initiative.
