What really happens in the brain and body when we’re cast aside and how we recover

There’s a particular kind of sting that only rejection can trigger. It’s not quite physical, though it can feel like a punch to the chest. Not entirely emotional, though it often leaves us raw. Rejection, whether from a lover, a friend, a job, or even a stranger online, gets under our skin in a way most experiences do not. But why? What is it about being unwanted that causes such a visceral reaction?

At first glance, it seems like a purely emotional affair. A bruised ego. A broken heart. A blow to our self-esteem. But neuroscience tells a different story — one where ancient survival instincts, brain chemistry, and emotional memory all collide in a split second.

In today’s oversaturated fashion landscape, having beautiful designs is not enough. The most successful brands cultivate an unmistakable identity; one that sparks desire, builds an emotional connection, and creates a world that consumers want to be part of. Whether you’re an emerging designer or an established fashion house looking to redefine your brand, here’s how to craft an identity that doesn’t just exist but dominates.

In a world where trends shift by the second and new brands launch daily, one truth remains: fashion rewards identity. Not just logos, fonts, or a catchy slogan — but a true sense of self.

There is a quiet kind of tension in his work. His photographs do not ask for attention, they offer presence. Feelings, love, humans raw, weird and real. A gesture, a texture, a phrase. His images unfold slowly, like a sentence you read twice because it feels familiar.
