So it's all about transformation. And I think that's a theme, you know, of transformation. So what happens is, when you put fabric in scalding hot water of the dye bath, it changes the fibers, and it not only changes the color, but it changes the structure of the fibers as well. And you have to start with stronger fabric so it can endure that dye bath. And I equate that to lights. You know, women, we go in and we have all our struggles, and we have, you know, we live life, but then when you come out, you emerge more beautiful, like the fabric with lines and stretch marks of a life well lived. So, yes, there are so many parallels. And I guess my filter in life has always been fashion. So that's how I equate life, through the filter of fashion. For sure.
