DoN’T Be aShAmEd oF PlEaSuRe

Dealing with the body means dealing with uncomfortable issues that society tends to hide out of fear.

We often wonder what the task of fashion is. Perhaps the best answer is that there is no answer. Fashion is a complex device that helps us see beyond the barriers of everyday life.
