"Behind every successful women is a tribe of other successful women, who have her back"

How often do you come across this patriarchic world bashing womanhood? Women this, women that! Pretty often, we suppose. It’s been quite a challenge for us feminine beings to make recognition for ourselves in industries. No matter which industry you belong to, we gentle feminine creatures have always faced judgment & opposition.

When we talk about homes, women have doted as the powerhouse. Right from growing up as a child until the beauty & power of giving birth to a being. We have witnessed the phenomenon of the purest form of nature. The strength and ability to be a feminine being is a blessing and isn’t no fool’s play. So why should it be any different from our work culture?

Over countless years, we’ve seen lady idols win over battles and premonitions in our society. Ladies have established their work and found recognition for the same. No one ever said it was easy for us women to live an independent life. But also, no one ever said it’s impossible! Breaking barriers in this male dominating misogynistic world can be a tough challenge. But we as women love a challenge, don’t we?

When we speak about fashion, we set our standards high. Every person on this planet expects a female to know how to dress to impress. Often so, we women barely pay any attention to our style amidst our busy lives. But what if we told you that you need to stop doing that this minute. The sole reason behind it being the fact that fashion can play a major role in empowerment.

The fashion industry has seen it all! Be it controversies about standard body measures or unorthodox concepts. But what we fail to recognize is the growth it has been making over the years. Starting from breaking stereotypical body standards to acceptance of various races in our society. Fashion has undoubtedly changed quite a few things for the good.
