FASHION

In My Opinion, three of the most influential international factors in life are Fashion, Cuisine and Music. I maintain a strong connection to them and continue to keep an eye on their evolution as the world becomes smaller and other cultures continue to be more influential. I have seen an evolution of these three influences that has transformed trend, style and popularity by a kind of anarchy taking place. It is a wonderful thing and a freedom that has transcended the history of fashion in my opinion.

Clothes and shoes for men and women are addressed in a deeply inspired way. The global influences are phenomenal in their own ways providing up with the most open opportunity to express our individuality than ever. Like the ingredients in cuisine and the varied instruments in today's music, the colors, fabrics, designs traditional or innovative make this a wonderfully expressive medium. Though many people dress only with the intention to avoid being arrested for indecent exposure, others see clothing as a form of self expression that is rivaled by no other visual means of expression.

HAMILTON PLAYGROUND REUNION IN SAN FRANCISCO 2010

This event was held in 2010 to commemorate the renovation of the facilities of the Hamilton Playground in San Francisco.
