CURIOUS
As the world slowly moves towards total globalisation, how can the different cultures of the world form a merger without loosing their identity? How can we move on to be so similar yet so different?
Ultimately, I know what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. I’m trying to be a construction worker. I’m trying to make things. If people are not interested in that, fine. I just don’t give a damn. Truth is, right now two bombs could drop out of the sky and blow up this house and whatever building you’re in and just obliterate Dischord and Pitchfork. And there’ll be some people crying, there’ll be some slow singing, but for 99% of the world, it won’t even affect the fly on their soup. Most of the world never have, or ever will hear of me, Fugazi, or Pitchfork. Right now, someone just got killed in Ukraine. Do you feel any different?

Is your shirt just a shirt?
For me it has never been enough for clothes to be just beautiful and glamorous,they ought to mean much more.Clothes and culture for me has always been an avenue for self expression,a way to let people into your thought patterns. It’s one of the unspoken ways through which one can easily sense the likes and dislikes of a person, his cultural orientation, his belief system and ideals. You could step into a room and someone would easily notice that your bright yellow dress reveals the fun filled day you are having or the cheerful mood you are in. A more detailed person who has watched you over the years may say you perpetually have a natural cheerful disposition and are seldom annoyed or unhappy. This goes to show how much can be inferred from our tastes and preferences. I believe that our fashion statements can help to unravel mysteries about us and take people through an interesting journey of our lives. Is your shirt just a shirt? Do you like your favorite pink shirt because it fits perfectly or because you are afraid to dare or try something new? Ask yourself What does your sense of fashion say about you?
