Clothes are meant to liberate us, to make us feel like complete persons and not to keep us prisoners in their appearances.
What if our clothes were tailored like feminist codes through which we communicate and convey our love and solidarity to each other? Where we would validate and celebrate each other without feeling incomplete?

The movement where clothes enhance our brilliance but don't define our gender or social category.
