Kari Gran
Kari Gran's Wear Yourself In Campaign
“As a personal stylist, my job is to help women be seen. It’s not about teaching them how to succumb to the expectations of the patriarchy. On the contrary, it’s about being in control of how people see you. It’s about saying something without talking, and having the confidence and courage to bravely do what you want, when you want. It’s a lesson I work to share with my clients, and something I continue to learn again and again.”

“These kids are homeless, formerly homeless, in danger of being homeless- things have been really dicey for them for a long time. Being able to go somewhere that is not only safe but celebrates them and gives them the power to control their own bodies is a really big deal.”
