Unfit draws inspiration from my childhood, a time shaped by instability and scarcity. My clothes weren’t a reflection of choice but rather circumstance. Redefining beauty and luxury, I turned symbols of survival into statements of power. Beauty is not about perfection. It is about presence. It’s about being seen, even in what was once meant to be hidden.
