But also, you know this exists because you put the hero in white, you put the lead character in red, you put the villain in all black. It's typecasting. You know that. So think about it.

Purple has always been my favorite color... but purple, when I was a little kid, was a color that boys weren't really allowed to wear. That's what all the kids at school told me. I filled my wardrobe with as much purple as I could possibly find, because who cares? Life's too short to dress by other people's rules.

Working in fashion we're lucky enough to be gifted lots of items, meanwhile so many people all over the world have one t-shirt they live in, so I thought why not share? I reached out to all of my friends and asked them to donate pieces from their wardrobe that I could sell to raise money for my charity foundation.
