Love this. 2016 was a pivotal year as well for me as I left the fashion industry, burnt out and not sure what to do next. Anyway, I love following your journey and how you really think through what you're doing. And for the gatecrashers - yes please. I now work in art and florals. Both gatekeeping communities, sigh. But the people that slide in through the side door and align with others with the same hutzpah all seem to keep on going. Moving and shaking off the naysayers along the way.
Reading this just sparked something in me. I love how you stated the facts and highlighted the individuals. Truly a good read. And of course, staying human in this world full of AI.
I’m 60. I’ve loved fashion since I was 5. It’s taken me until 3 or 4 years ago to find Tibi, a brand so in tune with what I what to wear, I’m culling (from a massive wardrobe) to a capsule that fits between my life in Scotland (3 months) and Bangkok (9 months) which, let me tell you, is different. Tibi fundamental pieces have changed my life and I don’t mean that in a vacuous way, everything now is easier – the clothes work in all scenarios. I do have a natural sense of style C9 P4 probably, I’m older and very small, but still love Sarah’s styling, and I have ‘buy in’. Every single time I wear Tibi, someone says wow – where is that from? -Thank you Amy, Tracy, Sarah, Keturah , Grace and Fana for understanding the modern female! I don’t have a huge budget but I buy what I can afford as it’s a huge hit in taxes to the UK and love every single piece – su su as they say in Thai x
Oh thank you so much for this!!!!! And fyi, if you shop at the tibi studio in Vienna - on line - I think Yasemin the shop owner makes it super easy!!!!
Poignant observations and love, love, love the emphasis on authenticity. Keep up your authentic thoughts. :))
"one can never be a prophet in their own home town" or "nemo profeta in patria" it's a quote from Jesus in the Bible
