Somehow by removing the taboo placed on exposing the body, more room is created to use the body and the self as a vessel for self expression rather than something to cover or uncover as an act of defiance. I saw this in the way that Berliners used texture, color and cut to create interest in their outfits that I felt was more akin to art than fashion traditionally.

A theory for the purse-obsessed.

The purse is a vessel. It’s up to its owner the items and therefore energies that they cultivate within it.

when did the private space of the purse become a public spectacle? And why are we so curious to know what’s inside?

To adorn is to appreciate beauty and to desire to be close to it at all times.
