This might be the very first time that I talk about Kim Kardashian, or any of the Kardashian-Jenner klan on this website. The longevity of their relevance is the very reason why it might never be too late to start. Here’s what happened; Kim Kardashian (West?

FASHION'S NEWEST POLITICAL WEAPON
This month, the fashion industry graced us with its newest trailblazers. Fierce trailblazers. Halima Aden has already made headlines as the first hijabi woman to participate in an American beauty pageant at Miss Minessota competition.
