Designer Aurora James: Quotes on Feeling Safe

"I feel most comfortable at home. More and more this year, especially since the election, I have felt like New York is a very hard place. This season took a toll on a lot of us. I have a tremendous desire to just be home and be safe and be comfortable. I hope this feeling passes and I am excited to be out here in this world again soon. For now, I will be here with my dog, Cupid, and my plants." - Aurora James, Creative Director, Brother Vellies  (quote via Man Repeller)
