On her journey with vitiligo she said, “For many years I used to think of my patches (Vitiligo) as a source of embarrassment and shame, and today’s dress is inspired by how I celebrate my patches everyday now and I see them as colourful as the patches on this dress and the uneven patches on this dress is how I see myself and my skin as imperfectly imperfect. We are re-writing history and paving the way to a peaceful free of bullying universe.”
