I AM
Magazine Issue #01This project, titled ‘I AM,’ goes beyond Fashion Magazines by exploring the personal narratives of young adults as they navigate their identities through fashion. In a world dominated by consumerism, which subtly shapes our identities and often blinds us to our true selves, this project challenges social norms and encourages the mindset: ‘I AM’ - WHO I AM, not WHAT I HAVE. It emphasizes the importance of embracing our authentic selves and appreciating the unique opportunities life presents.

This ‘reveal’ conveys the idea that true beauty emanates from within and is only unveiled when one breaks free from societal constraints. It emphasizes the importance of embracing our authentic selves and appreciating the unique opportunities life presents. Each individual is a valuable creation of God, capable of being who 'I AM.'
