MISSION Our mis­sion is to make the world more beau­ti­ful. More than an ide­al, it is also very prac­ti­cal. When it comes to shar­ing life and all that it holds, we are on the same team. The throw­away men­tal­i­ty of a fast-fash­ion cul­ture is not sus­tain­able. Nor is it desir­able. Geor­gio Armani once said, “The dif­fer­ence between fash­ion and style is qual­i­ty.” Good qual­i­ty lasts and is there­fore always in style, because it...

The Calling of the Artist

Beauty Begins When You Embrace Your Flaws ‑Chanel

Since I can remem­ber, I’ve always had freck­les. Grow­ing up, adults always com­ment­ed on how “cute” my freck­les were. And because of those com­ments (and prob­a­bly the fact that my mom did­n’t have lots of facial freck­les), I’ve had a love/hate rela­tion­ship with my freckles. My mom swore that my freck­les would fade as I grew old­er, but they nev­er did. And since high school, I’ve worn foun­da­tion to cov­er my freck­les...
