a written statement declaring intentions, motives, or views

ABOUT
MANIFESTO came out of my search for chic yet comfortable tops that I can wear while working from home, and then easily throw on a pair of heels, jacket & accessories, to take the top into the night. In addition to edgy chic style, I wanted the line to have meaning behind it. A manifesto is a written statement declaring intentions, motives, or views. Each month, the top for that month will have a word or phrase on it. The

meaning of that word is up to the buyers own interpretation. Every month there will be a new word or phrase on a new style of top. Every design will be limited edition — once they sell out, they are gone. By limiting the amount of tops per month, they will remain special, and the odds that you’ll show up to a night out with your friends wearing the same shirt is slim. The words and phrases on the tops will be original designs written in my own handwriting. January’s word is evolve. I chose evolve for January because at the beginning of a new year many people reflect on the past year and make goals and set intentions for the new year. Let this January’s tee be a constant reminder of your goals and intentions for this year. I’ve even been wearing mine to yoga! Keep evolving!

JESSIE ARTIGUE STYLE & PEPPER
To me, the word evolve feels ripe with expectancy and hope. It makes me think of the unfurling of dewy petals, organic growth, enthusiastic expansion, and things developing into more advanced versions of how they currently exist. So much anticipation, confidence & promise attached to one little word that I’d gladly wear it across my chest. JESSIE ARTIGUE Style & Pepper
CAITLIN MORAN STYLE WITHIN REACH
To me the word evolve is the sense that nothing is ever complete — life is a constant process of change and growth — whether it be your personal style, your education or your goals. CAITLIN MORAN Style Within Reach

To me, the word evolve is having developed from one thing to another. Today, this word is meaningful in the sense it describes where I used to be & where I am now.

MEGAN GILGER THE FRESH EXCHANGE
To me, evolve is the continual process of redefining who we are. Personally as a creative, this is a word that is very near to my heart because as I have created my business, many times I have seen my vision for it change and I took the change as an opportunity to allow myself and my business to evolve and grow. The process of evolution in owning a business and being a creative is essential and will happen and to stand in its way is foolish. Great things come out of the changes we least expect.

VICTORIA McGINLEY VMAC+CHEESE
Evolve means second chances. Reinvention. Waking up each day and remembering that we don’t have to let our past determine our future. No matter what life might throw your way, adapt and overcome! VICTORIA McGINLEY VMAC+cheese
