Welcome to Mandatory! Based in Chicago, IL.

Mandatory is the world I created to celebrate the art form that I love most: fashion. I am constantly inspired by fashion through different mediums including clothing, magazines, books, and film. 

I created this world so that I can celebrate fashion in my own way - curating collections of vintage items, making short films with Super 8 cameras, and creating photo edtorials inspired by my favorite magazines. 

This site is part shop / part portfolio / part personal blog and I am so excited to share it with you.
