PFW Pre-COVID Memories
Street portraits from the last Paris Fashion Week before the pandemic: turbans, balaclavas, sheer hoods and neon details in the crowd.
The Cold and Merciless Truth
In the crowd and all the fashion week's madness, I saw this man. See how Elvis Chen (in the foreground) and him are looking in the same direction, and yet I can tell that they don't see the same things. And then I realized how messed up this world actually is. I thank fate or whatever god (you name it) every day for putting me where I am. I grew up in a reliable environment and have always lived comfortably. Not everyone had this chance. Fashion is about telling stories, and thus, it's tempting to forget about the truth. The cold and merciless truth. The one that made these two men live two totally different realities. One world, multiple realities, but still only one truth. Having a roof over our heads doesn't make us normal people. But showing a lack of empathy does. Let's not forget about those we don't want to look at. Those who got unlucky at some point. Those who could be you in another reality, and you'd probably be them. They exist and they deserve to be heard and acknowledged. It is what makes us human beings. Stay safe, En Mode
