A Story A Day. Story 195 of 365: Silk.

When Tania was a child she would already design dresses and other clothing for her dolls. She had never liked the clothing that used to come with them. Of course, her passion became her job eventually. Her designs were edgy, feminine but comfortable, and empowering. She was against clothes that made women feel as if they were wearing a cage, or that made them feel uncomfortable with her body. She designed clothes for all body types, allowing all the women to love their bodies. Her body-positive attitude made her designs extremely popular.

As usual, success lead to offers from big fashion companies. She rejected all of them, once and again, because she didn't agree with their ethics. However, at one point, when her parents were hit with financial trouble, she gave in and accepted to work in a famous company. Her bosses agreed on letting her work as she used to. Soon enough she saw how her designs began to be modified, and she couldn't say anything about it. Tania endured the situation for some years, feeling hurt and betrayed, but saving the best ideas for herself. As soon as she could she quit her job, and went back to her original style, creating her own label, a label all women could rely on.
