Morals Founded 2021
For a few years now I’ve discredited myself and my work. I’ve thought about selling and showing the work I’ve done but I never thought it was good enough. I came to a realization that what I create is whatever I believe it’s worth. To enjoy the process and not short hand my talents after I’m done creating something. It means I need to simply create because that’s what I was born to do. It means I need to display my work whether it’s bought or not because it’s something I put so much effort into. I will continue to create no matter who’s watching or not. At the end of 2021 I secured my business license for my clothing brand Morals. This means theirs no excuse not to create. Theirs always going to be a new perspective shown to the world different. My clothing and anything else I create will show that.
Morals was developed for different perspectives. The brand is named Morals to represent both change and sustainability. Our Morals are challenged every day. You can establish new morals or change your view. Your interests and beliefs are subject to change as much as your outfits.
I created this brand to provide a new way of looking at goals that might have once been unattainable. The focus of my brand is to explore the bounds of fashion. Let us take inspiration from what we see. My creations have purpose. I create to challenge myself by making something that once was only an image. I create so I don’t have to wonder, but to show myself I was able to do it. Like interests, my clothing brand will change and so will this message.
