Fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham once said “The wider world perceives fashion as frivolity that should be done away with. The point is that fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life. I don’t think you can do away with it. It would be like doing away with civilization.” People often assume that paying extra attention to style and presentation is nothing more than a shallow obsession with appearance, but this couldn’t be further from the truth, especially for communities of color.
