Because I am an aesthete.
Because I love art of every kind.
Because I believe we should experiment with our identities.
Because fashion is a non-verbal communicator.
Because I like to play.
Because I like to dress appropriately for occasions.
Because I am not a nudist.
Because it complements my nail polish.
Because fabrics feel good against my skin.
Because it is warm.
Because it is cool.
Because it is HOT!
Because fashion is transformative.
Because I am a shapeshifter.

Fashion: Don’t you recognize me? Death: You should know that I don’t see very well and I can’t wear glasses. Fashion: I’m Fashion, your sister. Death: My sister? Fashion: Yes. You and I together keep undoing and changing things down here on earth although you go about it in one way and I another. Giacomo Leopardi, “Dialogue Between Fashion and Death.”abridged
