It started with a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes. About 7 years ago I bought my first pair of Jessica Simpson heels and fell in love. It was all downhill from there.

During their event last month, aptly titled, Resonance, one single chord rang out as the limited collection was introduced, after a years culmination. The note was translated into denim, from sound to material, and celebrated with a haunting c[...]
