"But make it fashion."
I have loved fashion all my life, and it has been one of my passions since I was young. Unfortunately, I have not always had the luck of accessing fashion due to various factors. I was born and raised in a small town where most residents were conservative to traditional ways of life, especially when it came to dressing. Although I knew that I needed fashion in my life, either as a hobby or career, my surroundings do not allow me to explore fashion more. I was much interested in concepts such as drawing, observing people's dressing styles, and shopping during my childhood. At that time, I already knew that whatever I would choose to do in my life needed to incorporate fashion either as a career or hobby. In this sense, I knew I needed to make fashion part of my life whenever I undertake my daily activities.
Over the years, I have made efforts to integrate fashion as part of my life. Contrary to what many people believe, fashion is not all about red carpet and screen looks. It is all about the clothing and accessories that one wears daily. In my life, I always try my best to find a balance of style and pay attention to the details of my fashion trends.
