How do you stand out? How do you become uniquely yourself? How do you stay true to your values, your way of life — and honestly, how do you survive in a world that rewards obedience but punishes authenticity? We’re constantly told to fit in, follow the trends, and stay within the lines. Obedience is praised. Authenticity is judged. Are we witnessing the death of personal style? Have we all become copies of one another, curated to please the algorithm, but fading from our own reflection? What is personal style, really? How can you find it when you feel lost, drained, and stuck in survival mode? Let’s take a breath. Forget the rules. Forget the trends. Forget the endless pressure to be "on point." Personal style isn't something you buy — it's something you live. 1. It's how you wear your clothes, but also how you carry yourself. 2. It’s your voice in a sea of silence.

Superfine: Tailoring Black Style This year’s Met Gala embraced a powerful and meaningful theme: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” – a celebration of the rich tradition of Black fashion through tailoring, style, and cultural identity.
