Cities draw the world over, bringing the weird and wonderful to the fore, giving a platform for whatever persona we choose to play. We celebrate the style icons who inspire us to break free from convention and pave a path of wild individuality
We have always relied on the rewards of the city. At some point in our lives, we will have upped sticks and headed to the bright lights of our perceived promised land to reinvent ourselves in what has become a very common modern pilgrimage. Tossing the past aside like a disposable camera, we swoon at the infinite possibilities a city presents, hungry for a reawakening and realisation of our true potential. The eternal hopes and dreams cities hold can be as addictive as the hormonal headiness of a new romance – pursued with short-sighted gutsiness and grit, heart bursting at the seams, knowing that while we could fall to our emotional demise we still cling to the rushing feeling that we are on the cusp of greatness and anything can happen.
