We all have fashion-dreams in Paris.. and some of my biggest career moments began in this city. Returning here before launching felt like the perfect segue to starting the brand ✨
This time, it was different. I had outgrown the version of myself who chased trends and wore things just to be seen. It was a quiet resilience: knowing who I was internally and reflecting that on the outside. The world has changed… and so have I. Paris is no longer the only global fashion capital. Influencers aren’t merely role-models: they’re leaders, activists, the grandma on TikTok posting her fits and life advice. K-pop is.. well popular, youth are leaving behind bad habits, giving themselves permission to choose their own path and even becoming more emotionally regulated. Gone are the days when a brand simply told you to “wear this” without question. People are more discerning- they follow values, align with movements that reflect their inner truth🫶🏼
Although Paris was a beautiful stop en route to Dubai, I wasn’t sure if I was happy or melancholic… or if it was just three hours of sleep on the plane 😴 But it became a reminder: to let go of old versions of myself that were meant to die, to shed what I no longer needed, and to fully step into this grown version of me.
The one who cares about people, not things. The one who’d rather sit at a table with humanitarians than influencers. The one who chooses a day on the beach over a night at the club. The one who finally chooses herself and her own peace over anyone else’s opinions.
And now the question is: How do I build a brand without sacrificing my integrity? How do I build a brand that people gravitate toward because they see it as a mirror of their values and their worth? 🪞
