We also seek to provide an alternative to the standard publications of today, by providing readers a more traditional array of ideas conspicuously absent in today’s fashion and news magazines as well as the news media. The magazine primary focus is to help America, and the world over to heal from the ongoing climate crisis; violence, bigotry, misogyny, disenfranchisement (of people’s rights and privileges—especially minority voters); and the constant bombardment of disinformation by some in today’s media. We are not just a fashion vehicle, but a “Powerful Movement” that plans to change the world, and its’ people for the better by stitching all people together under one broad, sustaining, and beautiful quilt.
We plan to accomplish this mega-task by inspiring women and men to explore and celebrate [style] in every aspects of their lives to reveal their similarities, as opposed to the differences. We want people to be more tolerable of other individuals “non-destructive” choices, rather than outright condemnation. And to be more aware of, and have a better understanding of the wider-world—and their individual place in it. Thereby, learning how to agree to disagree—while at the same time working toward a more equitable, peaceful, and humane society.
