Small Town Swag : Preview


 
Fashion: Small Town Swag: Preview 

I wrote and re-wrote for hours trying to come up with a witty introduction and I got nowhere. So I decided rather than dance around the facts I’d try a more direct approach and lay all of my cards on the table. I am a self-proclaimed fashionista, in my own right, from a city that couldn’t be further from stylistic innovation or any innovation for that matter. In Youngstown, Ohio (or the  “YO” as we native like to call it) one is guarenteed to see a few things, which include the remnants of a fallen steele industry, pot holes in just about every crack or crevace , trouble some youth and poor economic conditions, but if you tilt your head a little and squint your eyes you may be able to see something fascinating emerge. That is, a world of endless creativity.
