We know clothing and shelter are basic needs required by (most) humans to survive. But what is fashion? Fashion is an unbridled, irrepressible branch of the basic human need (especially in civilized society) for practical, physical shelter from exposure. This branch offshoots in countless directions. In some cases fashion is a practice, an instinctive habit, appearing perhaps as a humanistic expressive textures. Others are simple, whose intrinsic vibrations are more fully materialized through minimal dress. Of course there is an expansive grey area between the two. Fashion can not be limited or labeled; fashion is an art, a playground for experimentation with the body, mind, and Spirit. It is a tool, a ritual, a message, a freedom."
