Made In England, Inspired By The World
Over the summer my friend M. Chang introduced me to Molton Brown, London. It is an English mens apothecary owned by the Kao Corporation. My favorite scent is The Black Pepper.

You should definitely try it or any of the scents....

I see fashion as an expressive from of art in which the artist/designer can experiment with textiles, prints, and fabrics to have an effect on his/her society. Sadly, I could go on for days about fashion but I will save that for another day. Here is a last of some of my favorite...
