AN INTERSECTION

3. | 2020 has brought to us another intersection and the observations shared through the lens of documentary photojournalist Gordon Parks on the complexities of race & humanity are powerfully relevant yet again.

4. | It is in this moment of shifting thoughts and strides that I saw my brand at it’s own intersection.

5. | When I started six years ago I worked to create a counter narrative to the traditional “bombshell” image in the lingerie and fashion industry overall.

It glimpses into the complex emotions and simple desires, the tapestry of life as it straddles change.
