Southern Explosion
Walking into a designers’ studios, the fashionista Audrey stands in shock. The studios share a space called “Collective”, where 7 designers with divergent backgrounds display and share their latest designs. Influences from South America to the country south and China, India and the Outback welcome the normally surprised guest into the Collective.
Not Audrey. She was on a mission to create the perfect outfit, ideallic and most of all, make it stand out only as Audrey could. Her criteria for this outfit, it had to look like Audrey. (Yes, it is a disappointing reality, but people do exist who think that they are their own style. What the heck does this mean????!!!)
She first walked into Devante’s Southern Spice. The hottest trends imported from Brazil decorated his walls. Bright, vivid colors dyed the lightest fabrics cut with the most exquisite of tastes. It was said that the most dull of people would end up smiling from the energy exuding from his style. Not Audrey, she walked in and immediately felt overwhelmed by the color. It was too much for her too handle and she exploded.
