    It's tragic that only people like us, that is, those "interested in fashion", engage with such content while the rest of the crowd goes around calling us frivolous and vain. Little do they realise the history, poetry, art, craft, creativity, imagination, etc. that goes into "fashion". Then, they also conveniently forget how the fashion industry is not exclusive and heavily influences all our lives every day.
