“Prologue — A World in Style”
In life we are being taught a lot of different lessons and values. From walking with an appropriate posture to talking in an appropriate kind of manner to eating according to rules and behaving just the way we are supposed to in this ever changing society. When we grow up we try to find our own way around the rules we were being taught by our parents and our teachers and or other guides.
So, there we are trying to grow up and trying to find our own personalities in between all those rules of behaving and being well-mannered and just appropriate.

When did the world shift to become a society obsessed with sad and destructive things
such as wars and fights and weapons rather than surrounding themselves with the beauty of fabrics, cuts and colours? I couldn’t live without these things. I couldn’t go on another day if I would miss the chance of dressing every single morning. Dressing to conquer the day that lies ahead of us. Because that really is what fashion is all about — giving you the confidence of being able to do it all, to have it all and to get it all.
Fashion is all about how you feel and being aware of those feelings, every single day because what you put on reflects who you are and sends a message to the world. We can control this message, should control it for it reflects our personalities, our views, our emotions. In this series of articles I will tell you my story —
