I recently finished reading Kelly Cutrone's newest book, Normal Gets You Nowhere. And, loved every minute of it! Kelly continues to be one of my favorite names in fashion. She inspires me to be brilliant in the art, and to dream, dream, dream. Get to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of Normal Gets You Nowhere! ;)
Some of my favorite quotes:
"Fashion is worthwhile and powerful, and can turn Cinderallas into supermodels. But it's not attractive to have the spoils of this world and not feel for people who don't"
"From a young age we're programmed to believe that to be normal means not fighting the injustices all around us."
"There is a calling and demand for beauty, even in the ugliest places. Art is a need of civilazation. Bringing beauty into a place full of pain & suffering is compassionate and productive.
Those are just a few of my favorites from the book. I think what I love most about Kelly is that she is not just passionate about fashion, she is passionate about helping others and changing the world...especially the down and out; which is precisely what I want to do and exactly what this blog is for--to merge fashion with social justice.
Have a fabulous day!
Peace. Love. Joy.
