In the recent years, the fashion industry has been constantly changing its style and because of this, it has drawn me in strongly into the industry. Having an interest in the fashion industry can mean many things. For starters, it can mean just having an eye on the stylish, luxury items, but for others, it could mean to collect the most stylish, rare, and luxurious items. The fashion industry consists of three categories: apparel; footwear; and accessories. For me, I am drawn greatly by the footwear and accessories side of fashion.

This is when I started to find more and more sites and apps dedicated to selling and buying designer clothing. “But it was the slew of second-hand clothing startups that launched at the end of the 2012 that really made a point in 2013.

Wayne Dyer once said “doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life”. Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has always been a very important part of my life.

Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion
As a child, I have always been a visually observatory person. Patterns, textiles, and fashion have always been high interests of mine.
