just like after a long night battling flames and seeing the relief on people's faces when they're safe, fashion offers a chance to start with a clean sheet, creating something new from the undivulged ideas that dance in designers' minds before pre-initiation of their collections. there's no room for ridicule in these moments, only excitement and clarifications as visions come to life, reminding us that from the ashes of the old, new beauty can emerge, resilient and full of promise.
