"How can you express the soul of your garments ?"

Shirley Webb
"I guess my garments represent strength and self-sustainability, with an almost aggressive edge. The concept for the collection was preppers, meaning people who actively prepare for the end of the world, and the clothes display survival in an urban representation of an apocalyptic future"

"What makes you believe in Fashion ?"

Shirley Webb
"As for a belief in fashion, I'm not sure I have one. I feel that clothes can work as an outward display of personality, but certainly the person defines the clothes and not the other way around"
