Access Denied; Is Jomo Fashion’s Next Big Thing?

Fashion Week is as far in the rearview mirror as it is up ahead, and what better time to examine the distressing psychological phenomena that occur as a result of it galloping into our lives twice a year, and perhaps even strengthen ourselves for its next visit. Fashion is more democratic than ever before with bloggers stealing journalists’ spots, street cast models on runways, streetstyle photographers the new paparazzi, and members of the public winning tickets to runway shows. With so much gatekeeper-leapfrogging going on, if you still find yourself left out in the cold during fashion week, perhaps you have no one to blame but yourself. Maybe you were never destined to be a performer in the theater of fashion, but always to be sitting in a darkened row of the audience. Own it.
