Although we may not post as often as we’d like to, Mary and I are committed to responsible fashion education under a creative commons license. Unfortunately, our full time jobs keep us from devoting our full attention to our passion. We are both working to make Social Alterations a worthwhile endeavor that is both intellectually stimulating and financially sustainable. Thank you for all your support over the years! From me in Hong Kong and Mary in Vancouver, we wish you a truly heartfelt happy new year!
