Do you think that fashion brings together different kinds of people? Absolutely! The fashion industry is the most diverse, so every type of person, every ethnicity, every sexual orientation, I mean every shape and every size is included. It’s the industry I’m in, and that’s why I love it.
Name: Courtney Age: 23 City: New Jersey…the Jersey Shore!

Do you think shared style can overcome political difference? Yes I think so, because it shows that all different types of people can get a long or share the same type of interest. They might not have anything else in common, except for the fact that they like that one look or style.
