T his issue is obviously different from what you've seen before from PaperCity. But it's a different time — one that calls for reflection. For me, it's a time not just for introspection, but for understanding how others see life. The COVID-19 crisis has forced us to refocus our attention on the things that really matter. PaperCity is a creative outlet; we can't save the world, nor would we try. But we do seek beauty and understanding in all the chaos. To that end, we turned to Texas artists whose work we admire. We asked each artist to use model Sara Grace Wallerstedt as muse for our fashion portfolio this month, and assigned each a standout runway look from the spring collections of Valentino, Tom Ford, Gucci, Chanel, and Fendi. Their works have inspired us; each artist has his or her own view of life, influenced by the events that take place daily. This is a glimpse at our world from their perspective. We realize that times are hard and that there is much suffering, but we hope this brings a little joy to your day. — MICHELLE AVIÑA KAREN NAVARRO | TOM FORD 26
