Victor Alfaro Fall 1996

Sign “☮︎” the Times: Wishing the happiest of birthdays to one of the most amazing people ever! Yasmeen Ghauri is such an inspiration and it’s hard to put into words just how much of an impact she’s had on fashion and culture. Every time I go over her career, I always find something new. Like a painter to a canvas, Yasmeen created countless dreamscapes and unforgettable moments. It would’ve been the coolest thing if Yasmeen got to collaborate with Prince doing fashion. She personified Prince’s musical genius and aesthetic so much. That being said, Yasmeen Ghauri is truly a blessing and hope this day is the loveliest of all. Wishing you Infinite Love!

Until the end of time
I’ll be there for you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God, one day, struck me blind
Your beauty, I’d still see
Love is too weak to define
Just what you mean to me

-Prince

Just a little love is all I need (My arms are open wide)
Just a little love is all I need (Yeah)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
The feel of your warm embrace, baby (Your lovely, warm embrace)

-Jodeci

I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn’t believe, I wouldn’t believe, no
Been through a storm, no use in hopin’
That you would come rescue me
Somehow your love set me free

And I
I can let my life pass me by
I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime

-Maxwell

I heard a voice on the news saying people wanna stop the war (Stop the war)
If they had a love as sweet as you, they’d forget what they were fighting for

I never seen the moon look so lovely as the night I saw it with you
Let me know I’d never seen the moon before (Never seen the moon before)
So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws
But to compare it to a beauty like yours would give one pause

-Prince
