Okay, story tiiiiiiiime!

Hot Mess first became an idea back in 2019.
It was vague, but the vision was there.
I knew the feeling I wanted to create, even if I couldn’t fully explain it yet.

It's basically like aiming for a chill life while living in Lebanon (iykyk)

Anyway so I started designing. Creating collections. Researching. Overthinking. And never actually launching anything. Every time I said, “Okay, now I’m starting,” I didn’t. There was always a reason to stop me. Basically pandemics and w*rs.. It was never the right time. And I still don't think it is now, but f*ck it tbh.

It was never about being perfect or waiting for the perfect time.
It was about being real and being okay with the mess while you’re figuring things out..

I don’t want to wear motivational quotes.
I don’t want my body to be covered with LV prints.
I don’t want to be told to “just do it” on every item I own.

Words matter.
What you listen to, what you repeat, what you tell yourself, what you wear, it sticks.

Our whole world is a mess.
We still show up, get through the day, and keep going.

So if that’s the case, I’d rather enjoy it anyway.

Hot Mess is just that.
Something you wear for yourself, not for the world.
Something that lets you say, yeah things aren’t perfect, but I’m good. I’ve got this.

Forever hot mess.
