FOR OUR SPRING SUMMER 2024 ‘HOMECOMING’ COLLECTION, STINE GOYA INVITED SOME OF OUR BELOVED HOUSE OF GOYA FACES TO TELL US ABOUT WHAT HOME MEANS TO THEM.
HOME IS NOT ALWAYS A PLACE. SOMETIMES, IT CAN BE A PERSON, A COMMUNITY OR EVEN A FEELING. IT'S A SANCTUARY WHERE WE FIND GROUNDING, INSPIRATION, SAFETY, AND ACCEPTANCE. IT’S A PLACE INSIDE US ALL WHERE WE CAN TRULY BE OURSELVES.
AN ADVOCATE FOR HIJABI ATHLETES AND MODESTY WITHIN THE SPORTING INDUSTRY, INTYSAR FINDS HER SENSE OF HOME WHEN RUNNING:
"FOR ME, RUNNING PLAYS SUCH A BIG PART IN MY LIFE. IT HELPS ME FEEL GROUNDED, CENTRED, AND RELAXED. I FEEL AT HOME ON THE TRACK WHEN I CAN GET LOST IN MY OWN THOUGHTS. HOME IS A FEELING, HOME IS SAFETY, HOME FEELS GOOD."
MODEL, SINGER-SONGWRITER AND VISUAL ARTIST TSUNAINA FINDS HER SENSE OF 'HOME' IN MUSIC AND SOUND:
"HOME IS RETURNING TO THE RECORDING STUDIO AFTER A LONG ABSENCE. IT’S WHERE I WANT TO RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN TO REBUILD MYSELF."
SISTERS, CREATIVES AND TREASURED CHILDHOOD FRIENDS OF STINE, MALENE AND BARBARA CALL COPENHAGEN THEIR HOME:
“HOME IS WHERE I'M CLOSE TO MY SISTER. HOME IS WHERE FAMILY IS UNITED"
RAISE AWARENESS OF NON-BINARY AND TRANS PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD; FOR FASHION CONTENT CREATOR AND MODEL GEORGE, HOME TRANSCENDS BOUNDARIES:
"HOME IS THE PLACE WE CAN LET OUR HEARTS LOVE WITHOUT FEAR, LET OUR BODY REST, LET OUR MIND AND OUR SOUL WONDER, LEARN AND GROW.”
FOR POWERHOUSE CONTENT CREATOR CHAR, HOME IS SOMEWHERE SHE FEELS SEEN, SAFE AND HEARD:
"HOME FOR ME IS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. IT'S A PLACE WHERE I CAN BUILD, CREATE, RESET AND RELAX. IT'S THE ROOT OF WHO I REALLY AM."
PROVIDING A VOICE FOR THOSE FEELING LOST IN THE SWIRLING SEA OF MARGINALISATION WITH HER ONLINE PLATFORM @GIRLSWILLBEBOYS_ AND ARMED WITH THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA, SHE SPARKS INSPIRATION, EDUCATE THE MASSES, AND SETS AWARENESS ON FIRE.
