CLAIM YOUR WINGS! You don’t need permission to pursue your dreams, use your voice, or become the person you’re meant to be. Your value isn’t determined by the opinions of others, it has always been yours. Trust your abilities, embrace your journey, and move forward with confidence. The world is full of open skies and endless possibilities for those willing to spread their wings. Believe in yourself, claim your worth, and fly toward the life that is waiting for you. #trusttheuniverse #trusttheprocess❤️#youarevalued #youareenough

From the Worst Dressed list in 1996 to front row at a Versace show in 1997. Fuck yeah, that’s Courtney Love.

But her interest in fashion went way back, long before the red carpets.

In the 80s, her then-boyfriend’s mother, Bernadene, worked in Paramount’s costume department. She had costumed Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest (1981), and teenage Courtney would visit the set, developing a habit of rescuing antique pieces Bernadene had been asked to dispose of.

“She spent a lot of time with me there. She was fascinated by the clothes and so excited when she found something genuine,” Bernadene recalled in ‘02.

Courtney explained that her job involved throwing out clothes with dry rot:

“Of course, I didn’t throw them out. I wore them every night. I was the best-dressed girl in Hollywood. I was wearing Lauren Bacall’s shoes, Grace Kelly’s dresses, and Frances Farmer’s hats.”

Despite becoming a subculture fashion icon in the mid-90s for her kinderwh*re style, by January ‘96 Courtney had landed on fashion critic Mr. Blackwell’s Worst Dressed list (v questionable).

At the NYC Film Critics awards on January 5, ‘97, she won Best Supporting Actress and confessed in her speech that she “had never won anything but Worst Dressed. So this is nice.”

Then things took a turn. Courtney got the “Vogue makeover” and the fashion industry SAT UP.

Suddenly some of the biggest names in fashion were courting her, desperate to dress her: Versace, Valentino, Prada, Dior, Fendi and Givenchy, to name a few. Most succeeded, as these slides show.

After choosing Versace for the Oscars in March (that white dress had debuted on the Paris runway just 8 weeks earlier), she was invited to sit front row at Versace’s New York show the following month.

“My very first fashion show!” she shouted to the peasants behind her.

She told reporters:

“I’ve been so sucked into fashion. It’s strange. My mother ran the first store in Oregon that sold Birkenstocks. So you can understand my beauty problem. I grew up surrounded by sandals.”

Sorry for the mistake. I meant Osmania Hospital, not Osmania University.

My humble request to the government is to give first priority to Education, Healthcare and Agriculture. These three are the backbone of our society. Government hospitals need proper equipment and medicines, schools need better facilities, and our farmers deserve more support.

Instead of spending hundreds of crores on statues and monuments, I sincerely request the government to consider investing that money in hospitals and education in the name of our great freedom fighters. I believe that would be a true tribute to their sacrifices and would help thousands of poor families.

This is not a demand or criticism, just a humble request. Let’s prioritise people’s lives and the future of our country.
