‘Accessorize my soul’, which I could also call ‘Accessorize my rights’, is a fashion and art project that celebrates women’s rights and beauty, rights the world sometimes forgets.
From the article, Ray on his project: “‘Accessorize my rights’ is a tribute to women and to the accessories they wear, which over the millennia have dressed souls, hearts and female bodies. It is also a tribute to 4 designers I love and hold in high esteem. To showcase the project, I chose 5 different ethnicities, represented by 4 young women. They show the inner power that every accessory has always had, in every part of the world. China, Bolivia, Thailand, Ivory Coast and Kenya are the five countries I picked to represent this wonderful universe of velvet skin and eyes that tell us stories and traditions: traditions and emotions that no dictatorship, no politician, no man should ever dare to repress.”
