Free: not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one wishes

At the end of every weekly newsletter I send out, subscribe here if you haven't already, I end the email telling my readers to “Stay inspired, Live free”. The reason for this outside of it’s one of the things I strive to do in my daily life is that it is a four word summary of what fashion means to me. Fashion as an expression of personality and dreams through clothing is ultimately a source to inspire and be inspired as well as a means to live free from societal norms and just do your own thing. I love the way fashion gives you that power to choose how you will present yourself and in constantly learning about fashion I find that I become inspired by the choices others have made in what they wear to express themselves. These two ideas of being inspired and living free couldn’t be more relevant to the way festival goers attending this year's Coachella Festival will approach their fashion choices and use what they wear to freely express who they are, which is incredibly inspiring.
