We should think of our clothes as our friends. They are there when we need support and comfort. They create joy, hold memories and develop
our identity.
They travel with us on our bodies, helping us experience the world. But our clothing also experiences the world too.
Let’s imagine that our clothes are our friends and a world where our clothes come to life!
