Synergy: Should you deem an image in my portfolio merits a comment and/or list please consider visiting the model; stylist; photographer or clothing designer who collaborated on the vision since they are indeed equally important in creating the narrative...
Also bring tenured expertise in graphical arts to the image equation thus not interested in collaborating with retouchers, do all my own rendering... thanks...

Insight:
Fashion: Savvy marketing/advertising techniques empower fashion designers to differentiate themselves from background noise in a competitive marketplace. Such practices involve lifestyle branding which is derived from a unified look in how their collections are showcased. Successful designers produce style narratives that create genuine value for customers. This perceived worth is divorced from their actual product. To thrive in the Fashion industry it's wise to embrace this concept completely.
