They explore the relationship between individuality and fashion, the impact of fabric and silhouette, and the challenges of modern trends and marketing.
Kibbe also emphasizes the journey of finding one’s authentic style, the pitfalls of societal conditioning, and the importance of head-to-toe cohesiveness in outfit choices.
