WATERED DISTRESS
For those who've been told they're too loud, too soft, too much.
This journal is a space for the vivid. For those who want to scream, and bloom anyway.
WHY WE BLOOM THROUGH DISTRESS
WATERED DISTRESS is a fashion, visual, and literary journal for those who've been silenced-- for those who were told to shrink, soften, vanish.
We believe beauty doesn't have to be delicate to be real.
​
We want the raw, the ruined, the radiant. The unheard scream inside the stitched mouth. The flower pressed flat inside the handbook. The soul untamed.
​
This space is for the Unshrunk.
This space is for you.
