Fashion and style how I see it. Not dictated by the masses, rather what inspires me. I’m multi-faceted. A writer. A photographer. A Cypriot born Lebanese living in Toronto and traveling the world capturing style on the street. To me fashion is style expressed uniquely. My style? Geeky Chic. Your style? That is what I aim to uncover because every style has a story behind it. I want to uncover stories. - Mona
