What does fashion have to do with philosophy?
I wrote a book blending fashion, witchcraft, and philosophy. It started as a culmination of the first two – fashion and witchcraft. With a title like “Alchemy of Fashion,” that makes sense, right!? But, like with any book or story, it took on a life of its own as I wrote it. In my personal life, I was diving back into my own personal philosophical studies, and suddenly philosophy started popping up in my manuscript. Now, if you read my book, you’ll get the answer to the question the title of this article ponders – but people sometimes want answers the easy way. That would be by asking me when I am at events selling my book. I thought, hey, why don’t I also write an article about it? Well, I also have a book planned down the pipeline that will also dive deep into the philosophy of fashion and introduce my own philosophical thoughts and ideals. That book is currently known as “Fashioned From Thought.” But it will be months before that book makes its way to the page, so, for now, let’s look at an overview of my thoughts on fashion and philosophy.

Back then, women above a size two were frequently mocked in headlines, and intense scrutiny of female bodies was considered routine. As we fast-forward to the present day, similar attitudes are making an unsettling comeback—particularly on platforms like TikTok, where viral trends and algorithm-driven content cycles often spotlight a narrow, unrealistic version of beauty.

The Soul of the Stone: Why I’m Betting on Oval Diamonds This Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day has a funny way of making us overthink everything. We obsess over the reservation, the flowers, and—most nerve-wracking of all—the ring.
