“It’s Always Been This Way” is a series inspired by female friendship. It’s not always pretty, but friendships get us through the tough times. Styled and photographed by Lindsey L33 with selected wardrobe from Monkies Vintage featuring the girls Karla, Sharmeen, Shilo and Christhany.
There are few relationships stronger than the female bond. Difficult to find—even more difficult to keep—the special relationships built between girls are really beyond comparison. If you’ve ever had a girl gang, you know the ease of hanging out with your people and enjoying yourself free of judgement—the kind of environment where you can be 100% you. Of course, these relationships aren’t without flaws. You can fight a friendship to near death, but you can bring it back to life too. After all, the friendships we fight for are the ones worth keeping. It’s these ride or die friendships that help us through the bad times and party with us through the good times.
