Heraclitus once stated “the only thing that is constant, is change.”, nothing exemplifies fashion more than this statement. As a person that is constantly demanding herself to grow and change, fashion is the one thing that can keep up with me. It is the only constant in my life that I have a stable relationship with, due to its shape-shifting nature which resembles mine.

Enrolling in this masters program will allow me to unleash this creativity, and take initiative into stepping in the fashion industry. An integral characteristic of fashion is to know all aspects of fashion rather than just one.Therefore, a masters program like this will integrate all ingredients of the fashion world to prepare me to establish my own brand.
