It's not just us.

And it's not just about clothing.

So this is something that I also like to say about fashion is that I think about fashion in the fashion exists in the same way that like love exists.

Love exists.

Love is real.

It's like a feeling that you have and it's out there.

And it is commodified.

And it is used to sell you things.

And because it exists and it is so strong in you, it is easily hijacked.

And fashion is real.

Fashion exists.

It exists under capitalism.

It existed under feudalism.

It exists under communism.

It's just like, it's a part of, we are always looking towards each other.

And it is, because it is real, because it exists in us, it is so easily abused.

and hijacked and like used to tap into our deepest anxieties and fears and a way to make us spend money.

But I think it exists on its own.

I also used to not think about the military.

I mean, I thought about it and that I was against it categorically as an institution, but I didn't like know any veterans or active duty soldiers for most of my life, basically until I started working on this series.
