"Spaceships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors," - André 3000
Those words became the guiding star for my first collection, "No Rearview Mirrors."
The space-themed collection wasn't just about fashion; it was about self-discovery. A declaration that it's time to let go of the past, beat imposter syndrome, and take that giant leap forward, like the first moon landing.
As I developed the concept of "No Rearview Mirrors," I couldn't help but be inspired by the vastness of space. The idea that there are no rearview mirrors in space speaks to the importance of looking ahead, not dwelling on what's behind. It's about shedding the weight of doubt and insecurity and setting sights on the stars.
The inspiration
The moon landing was a momentous event in human history. It symbolizes the power of human determination, the spirit of exploration, and the triumph of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds. Our collection draws parallels between that historic moment and the personal journeys we all undertake. It's about conquering the unknown, breaking free from the gravitational pull of self-doubt, and taking that one small step toward our dreams.
Our "No Rearview Mirrors" collection was more than just clothing and art; it's a manifesto for those who dare to chase their dreams. It's a reminder that we don't need rearview mirrors because our path is forward, toward the unknown, toward the stars.
