Recently, I spent some time living in South Carolina for an internship. Immediately, I was inspired by the differences in trends that can be found in the beautiful state of South Carolina, from bright colors to bold patterns. The daily attire reflects the vibrant architecture, an early sunrise over the water and a soulfulness that mirrors the sounds of live bands playing at night. I believe these images encapsulate the bright and authentic spirit of the state’s culture.
