Make a Statement
By Rachel Kiser
We drape out bodies with handwoven plastic in an attempt to cover the natural, beautiful cloth that we were born in. Every skin snuggles us, loves us and we live in a world that teaches us to pick out the flaws etched and ripped in our beautiful fabric.

We cover ourselves, forgetting that our cloth is purer than the softest of silk, and more scattered than the fibers that electrify from wool. It’s time to break free of our constraints to seek the fashion that we have always possessed: a fashion that extends past department stores, vintage shops, and runways. Something raw and beautiful and… naked.
