Use fashion to your advantage

Carla Lemos, from modices, invites you in a lighthearted and fun way to rediscover yourself through your wardrobe in "Use Fashion in Your Favor." Carla Lemos sets aside the conventional wisdom of seeing fashion as a tool of oppression and develops a narrative that embraces the idea of free fashion, free from conventional standards, and—why not?—revolutionary. The idea here is to encourage you to rethink your relationship with fashion and use your clothes as a force that empowers your feelings, values, and attitudes, in a more conscious way. By combining fashion history, analyses of the clothing-making process, and exercises to deconstruct your perspective and learn to love your own body, the author shows that it is possible to rediscover, reinvent, and experience all of this in a creative, lighthearted way, and best of all: without rules. In a world that constantly tries to dictate what women should or shouldn't wear, "Use Fashion in Your Favor" becomes essential in emphasizing the importance of acceptance and empowerment.
