Tennis is like fashion, there is a constant struggle to maintain the tradition and yet carefully break the mold. This reminds me of the emerging... Continue Reading →
I’ve been to Atlanta before, but never for leisure. This was a very specific fashion-driven purpose. My friend and I flew down to Atlanta strictly for Atlanta International Fashion Week (AIFW).
