Let’s celebrate DRESS TO EXPRESS together!     What will YOU wear ?
Expressing yourself through fashion is communication. Wearing a certain colour, a certain outfit, a specific texture , a material can be as effective as a thousand words.
It can create a connection with people, with your mood, with your feelings, whith your memories.
That’s why Dress To Express can raise awareness of Children’s Mental Health.

Have a wonderful day!
