The Artist:

Citizen Tog is a human, not a brand. 

She is a photographer, writer and artist. 

She believes the work speaks for itself and patriarchal criticism of any art form is irrelevant.

POV:

A human life is comprised of the sum-total of stories that we live each day.

Clothing communicates a person’s emotional story at that moment in time. Photojournalism is a conduit to that story.

The Work:

From hype-beast to granny-glam to gender-fluid, Citizen Tog documents human acts of sartorial self-expression in cities around the world. 

Quote:

The rampant overuse and misapplication of the words “authentic” and “curated” in the pursuit of influence and/or self-promotion is disingenuous and highly suspect.
