Hustle & Grow T
his year has given me an entirely new grasp on the word hustle. In late Spring, the VintageKC office was uprooted and we moved into a swank new spot in The Bauer building. At the same time, I was working double time on production for this issue, visiting my trainer regularly before sunrise, volunteering for speaking engagements, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and more lo- cal events than I ever have before. I was able to take multiple trips with my friends, but came right back to the grind. I have become quite the “yes man” in 2016. Part of my New Year’s resolution (yes I still make those) was to worry less and smile more. It was to take a deep breath and push on. It was to relax when the going got tough—and to say yes more, even when I thought I might need a 25th hour in the day to complete everything.

Saying yes more meant more hustle, but ultimately, at the end of the year there will be much higher goals met because of it. If I’ve learned anything from my personal trainers, it’s that progress comes at the exact moment you want to stop. But if you push a little harder, a little further, you can do great things! And because of the hustle of so many hard-working people in this city, this fashion issue is filled with great things. These pages are filled with more fashion than we’ve ever had. We pushed the envelope, and stretched the boundaries like never before—and I’m beyond grateful for everyone who hopped on board and hustled with me. I’m thankful for our local design- ers, like featured designer Nataliya Lucia Meyer, who believes in fashion and creates it daily in the heart of this wonderful city. Some of the best hair and makeup teams and photographers sacrifice their time and talents to make this issue unique and impactful on the Kansas City fashion community. In the past four years I’ve worked with countless models. I watched their careers form, from fresh faces to seasoned veterans, and I love being a part of that story. We hand-selected local shops for this issue who share our love of vintage fashion and hand- made items. I’m so thankful for their partnership in this publication, especially since our ideas may be trendy, but not always mainstream. Every issue is a journey. From concept to inspiration to pulling looks and handcrafted pieces to hair and makeup to models killing poses to moments being captured through a lens, every page in this issue tells the story of that journey, and it’s one that I’m grateful to tell. For the love of fashion, and hustle.
