“The brief: Be yourself and show up. So, I did. I didn’t have to put rainbows on anything. In fact, the whole collection is black and white. It felt fitting—Happy Impulse means finding joy in life’s bullshit. The message in this collection is simple: Show up as you. Show up as an ally. Show up as someone who supports the community. Do it for your friends, do it for your creativity.” – Roberta Hall
