the best makeup (cosm(o)etics) and body enhancements are ones that just make you look super alive and fertile and yummy.
I love the body oil that makes you look slightly sweatyโฆthe red cheek and lip stain that gives you bitten lips + steamy cheeksโฆwild messy hairโฆ

Every country has an energy. And that energy rewires you whether you notice it or not. People move to Japan and become minimal. People move to Mexico and their entire relationship with time softens. People move to New York and suddenly they can't sit still. Your personality is far more malleable than you think. We treat it like something fixed, but new surroundings give you new defaults. New pace. New habits. New values absorbed through proximity instead of effort. You're not just the average of the 5 people closest to you. You're the average of the 5 places, the 5 routines, and the 5 inputs you're exposed to most. Your commute shapes you. The weather shapes you. Every space you occupy is voting on who you become. That's why I believe choosing where you live is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. More important than your job title. Maybe more important than your five-year plan. Because the place shapes the plan. The place shapes your energy, your habits, your relationships, your default state. Get the place right and half of the other decisions start making themselves. Get it wrong and you'll fight yourself every day.
"If you think since you came to Kenya you have never seen an African with a gun.
I am the one to inform you that Africans have more power than you with guns. Wait until 1949 you will be sorry for the rules you are giving us now & it will be my turn to order you the same way"

PS: each garment is a piece of ART.
obsession with details others wonโt notice is what creates work that feels different even when observers canโt articulate why. the accumulated micro choices in typography, spacing, timing, rhythm compound into a feeling of quality that registers subconsciously before it registers consciously - choices that feel right to you in ways you canโt fully explain because they came from intuition built through your distinct path.
y'all are bitching about everything is slop, but you don't want experts and snobs.
They're apex predators.
Mediocrity is an invasive species and it's winning b/c you've gotten rid of apex predators!
pls let the nerds, experts, snobs and undiagnosed autistic ppl do their jobs!
