preface LONDON BECK
The evolving, nebulous realm of fashion is one capable of honesty. And while trends are often seductive and tempting to follow, it is within this world that innovation and uniqueness are nurtured and empowered to transform into a beauty that is truly authentic and timeless. “The Isle of misfit toys� refers to a family formed by brilliant, remarkable individuals who were brought together by chance, and only through the love and support that has been shared between us have I begun to recognize and embrace my own brilliance. A handful of these amazing people dedicated their time to help me curate and create this art piece. MISFIT TOYS is more than a lookbook of styles that inspire me; it is the beginning of a movement of strength, self-love, and individuality.
