EMBRACE
Embrace is a fashion art action elevating the socio/cultural fabric into an aesthetic that embraces diversity, respects differences, invites to inclusion and actively rejects hatred and prejudice. I see embracing as a “together” connecting movement, a mechanism that reflects the beauty of “inclusion” through the simple fact of touching the other in the dynamic of sharing a community aesthetic through fashion and art. In their unique bodies, the models share their stories about gender, emotions and standards of beauty in an a temporal bold black fabrics and gold covering scars, covering lips, hands, thirsty of a touch, and over raw skins.
