I've always admired the way Carissa Ackerman went about her business called Mandate of Heaven. Mandate is as indie as it gets as far as fashion goes. One of a kind everythings , part vintage and remade with quality. I've always loved and felt a connection more so with designers like her in my past as these designers don't exactly set out with any major business motive, it kinda starts out with a "what the hell I just want to do this"idea. The way usually the best stuff does. Carissa has ultimately made her own client which may have never existed in the first place if her craft hadn't. She doesn't exploit her clients by using them as models but has created a cult like adoration for them instead. The Mandate Girls as she's labeled them are young hot real girls and accidentally using them as models also serves as a very responsible message to society as far as what beauty is when it comes to fashion. You don't have to be a 16 year old girl 5ft11 and 100lbs to be gorgeous. Thats beautiful but so it being 22 or 24 or 30 etc., and having thighs a chest and an ass to boot. And her girls love it as they get to wear cool cloths and rock the runway.
Its nice to know that nice girls don't finish last, they help each other, they grow together and finish on top of the world they've saved from a sense of cruelty...
