Your visuals are always so bold and artistic! Do you use any AI tools to create, or any other way to capture product photo and model. As some one told me go with Remaker AI ”remkaerai-pro” to enhance images and create photography with model is the best way. What you think about it? Thank you.

Marie, I love how you tie social issues like colorism into your designs. How do you decide which cause or message inspires each new collection?
