I experienced the magic of Loin Cloth and Ashes through the tee-shirt insert of Elle July (my birthday month issue, :) It was fate). I, being a lover of all things mystical and strange assumed love immediately as I let that tee touch my skin. I had all my chlothes on the floor that day, tried the tee with everything in my waderode. Had a fashion show complete with a photographer and critiques. It's got magic to make you smile through your life, a sense of creativity unimagined. I swear LCA is the best thing that has happened to SA modern fashion so far.
