Charlie Porter on the non-mystery of fashion
Interviews|June 2025
If getting dressed every day has inspired some introspection, it is with good reason, and you’re not alone.

Awareness of this notion may spark beautiful dialogues and insights about who we are as people, allowing us to feel more in tune with how we choose to show up to the world – and ourselves.
