Erika Hendrix: The main characters name is Emily, she is from a small town and moving to the big city. Why have you chosen to present your collection online by telling a story? Erika Hendrix: By telling a story with the collection it gives more life and personality to the collection and it also shows that clothes reflect your inner confidence. What’s the story about? Erika Hendrix: The story is about a shy girl that is moving into the city and learns that clothes can make you more confident and show your personality and that you don’t have to hide behind clothes. Clothes don’t own you but you own the clothes.
