A fashionista will always be a fashionista. Being invited to fashion shows is indeed such a treat but real life runways give me a bit more “WOW” that there is really life beyond a fashion statement.
Alina Villasante’s work cought my attention at a recent trip. Not only her slogans such as “ love is not something you look for… love is something you become!” but her fashion brand, peace love world captivated my attention. Although the designer creates eyecatching designs for the whole family, she makes rugged, comfort and elegance fit for the male globe trotters as well.
I picked up a couple of her designs. The feel of the fabric feels so soft against my skin- it was wicked! I also got several thumbs up at a recent night out in New York City. Although sporting slogans may seem elementary at times, we can get away expressing ourselves and how we feel through our clothes… there’s freedom of speech anyway.
What gives a better feeling is to know that a brand like this gives something back to the community and to the rest of the world. The organization is active with relief, i am hope, peace for tots and don’t text and drive projects. Throughout 2011, Peace Love World will give a new tee to a child in need in places like Haiti and America’s shelters- the buy one, give one project.
