Daniel Vosovic believes that fashion is more than mere materials sewn together. Fashion, he argues, can actually create an ambiance and capture a moment and literally transform the mood of an entire room. “I've been in numerous settings,” says Daniel, “A party, a restaurant, an event, where someone will walk in ... a beautiful woman or an impeccably dressed man, and you can physically see the room sit up and take notice.”

Aside from this sort of mood-capturing power that fashion can wield, Daniel is fascinated with the power that a garment can have on the person wearing it. Like when one of his best friends who even after a horribly long 12-hour shift at a bakery, could pull on one of his dresses, "slide into a gorgeous pair of heels, take off her glasses, rub her face, let down her hair, let out a huge sigh and in that moment, become the sexiest woman I've ever seen," explains Daniel. Or when he witnessed his more-than-modest mother quietly repeat "I don't know" as she slipped on one of his dresses ... to eventually stop with the "I don't knows" as she slowly turned and twirled in the mirror with a huge smile creeping onto her face. "It's OK for even moms to feel sexy ... because certain garments are going to make them look and feel great," says Daniel.

“I do think that the personality of the wearer comes out, or can be dictated by what they're wearing. We're all multi–faceted, so dressing accordingly can bring out different characters in ourselves, which I think makes fashion so fun!“
