Much respect, but fashion is diff now!

If you’re the moodboard type, we’re willing to bet yours has this very famous Marilyn quote on it: ‘Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.’ The OGs knew how important clothes were in crafting a public image, which is even more true today. But the problem is, they lived in a time when there was only one, narrow view of the ‘ideal’ kind of woman: light-skinned, petite, and ‘modest-yet-sexy-yet-innocent’ with big ‘domestic bliss’ vibes. Well, thank God we’re in the 21st century now, and mindsets are a-changing. So let’s go ahead and anoint the new fashion idols we all deserve.
