MY STYLE
PHILOSOPHY
I discovered my path in fashion by attending fashion schools, where I learned that styling is a skill that can be acquired. There exists a plethora of fashion theories to delve into, particularly beneficial for individuals like myself who lack an inherent sense of style. Following this, it's crucial to maintain a perpetual sense of curiosity, drawing inspiration from various sources such as people you encounter, Instagram, fashion literature, or books, in order to craft outfits that resonate with your personal taste. However, it's essential to establish a solid foundation first, mastering the basics.
To echo the words of Pablo Picasso, "Master the rules like a professional so that you can bend them like an artist".
