Hey everyone! I'm sure you're quite aware of what is happening in Hong Kong. In case you've got no idea, on september 30th, over 100,000 citizens have joined the protest in a quest to fight for democracy. People around the world have shown support for Hong Kong's fight for democracy, from London to the US. Here I'm expressing my support through the setting of my outfit photography.
While this small gesture may seem like a way to fit in with the popularly political trend...it's not. Having lived in Hong Kong for 18 years I truly understand the circumstances and support standing up for universal suffrage, even more so since the brainwashing incident happened (see my other blog for information). My last fashion project was based on that, where I created a campaign to express my support for people to be brave and think for themselves.
Ultimately, my point is that this is what I believe in, not something I follow because it's "popular". It's like wearing one off vintage or thrift clothes against chain-store clothes. Finding this velvet East End Thrift Store dress was like digging up a unique gem. Under the tonnes of clothes they put on top in that thrift store, you may find something you believe is worthy and beautiful.
