When people ask me what I do and why I am here in Italy, I tend to show them the video of my store being destroyed in the riots from four years ago. It is how I explain my situation. But I have been reliving that moment every time I play that video for others, so I have decided that after tonight, I will allow that to be a distant memory. That is who I was and where I came from, but it is not who I am today or where I am at. Today is a major tuning point in my life, reopening The Art of Style and showcasing my designs to the world. This is a totally new concept, where I will continue to introduce designs as they become available (at least one piece a month, I hope) and I will only be producing 100 pieces of each, to keep it special and at a limited quantity. Each piece will be numbered in the order it was received, and yes, all of my pieces will be the same price. It is time for a rebirth of who I am becoming. I invite you to join me in the (r)evolution of TAOS and my transformative clothing.
