Fashion is universal and inborn. It is part of our daily lives and manifests itself in many ways; as such, we must be more aware of it, even making it more aware of its roles. Candid about Couture is essentially me thinking out loud and navigating life by using fashion and its subtleties. As an extension of our bodies but not the definition, it has far-reaching consequences and implications that are influenced by time, space, heritages, and cultures. In this book, I talk about how fashion can function like a spectacle and is meant to transcend the idea of having a singular theme; it has multiple, and they are the intersection of fashion and culture and the idea that fashion can be mobilized for good or bad: it's our choice!
