Art Is Back in Fashion—and I’m Here for It

Growing up, I had fashion magazines splayed all around my house, and my mom was always dressed to the nines in the latest trends. I remember flipping through Vogue and Elle as a little kid, circling my favorite looks and trying to recreate them with whatever I had in my closet. Fashion and beauty were always something I deeply connected with, it felt like a natural extension of who I was. Even in the most chaotic times of life, putting together an outfit or doing a full glam makeup look gave me a sense of control, creativity, and confidence.

At its core, fashion has always been my favorite form of self-expression. It’s like wearing your personality on the outside - your mood, your inspiration, your voice - all communicated before you ever say a word. Whether I was dressing up in oversized boots and sunglasses as a child, or piecing together the perfect going-out outfit as a teen, I always saw fashion as more than just “clothes.” It was storytelling.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started diving deeper into designers and brands that go beyond trends. When I discovered the works of Margiela, Mugler, and Coperni, something shifted. These weren’t just fashion houses making pretty clothes, they were pushing boundaries. They made me realize that fashion is a deep art form, a mirror to society, a space for rebellion and reinvention. The structure of a Margiela piece or the theatricality of an archival Mugler show made me feel the way great art should: a little bit shaken, completely inspired.

It also made me recognize that I want to be a part of this world, not just as a fan, but as a contributor. I want to help shape the way people see fashion and beauty. I want to work in an industry where creativity is currency, and where the right styling or campaign can leave a lasting cultural impact.

What excites me most right now is that fashion is clearly entering a new era, one that’s not afraid to be bold, emotional, and artistic again. The basics and nude tones of the last 10 years are out, and art is in. With shows like the recent Dsquared2 collection and Margiela's 2024 spring collection, we’re seeing a return to fantasy and performance. There’s a sense of drama on the runway that we haven’t felt in a while. It’s no longer just about wearability or commercial success, it’s about personal style and making people feel something. And I think that’s exactly what the industry needs right now.

Models like Alex Consani are also redefining what it means to be part of the fashion world. She’s not just walking the runway, she’s creating an energy, an attitude, and a story with every step. She represents this new wave of fashion that blends humor, self-awareness, internet culture, and glamour into one big performance. That kind of storytelling is powerful, and it’s exactly the kind of movement I want to be involved in.

To me, the beauty industry holds just as much artistic weight. The way a certain makeup look can completely transform the vibe is magic. I find that art is coming back to beauty as well, with things like the release of HBO's show Euphoria, which features intricate and creative looks every episode. Makeup and skincare aren’t just routines, they’re rituals. I’ve always been obsessed with the branding behind beauty launches, the packaging, the colors, the campaigns, and the way a single product can take over TikTok and redefine what’s “in.” There’s a pulse to the beauty world that’s electric, and I want to be a part of it, helping tell the stories that go beyond the surface.

My dream is to work at the intersection of fashion, beauty, and storytelling. Whether it’s through marketing, creative direction, or branding, I want to bring my passion and marketing perspective to an industry that has shaped so much of who I am. I’m inspired by the revival of fashion as art, and I’m ready to contribute to that movement.

Fashion is creeping out of the basic ideas of the last decade and reviving the drama of the 90s, it’s starting to sell a feeling, a message, a moment. And I want to be part of the team that makes people feel something the second they flip a page, scroll a feed, or watch a show.

Because in the end, fashion isn’t just what you wear, it’s who you are, and I’ve never been more certain that this is exactly where I’m meant to be.
