Why I Left the Fashion Career that Everyone Wanted: Sah D’Simone

In this episode of “Getting Dressed: An Act of Self-Love,” Sah D'Simone, founder of Somatic Activated Healing Method, reflects on all the ways he has used style throughout his life: first as rebellion against the hetero identity he was forced to perform growing up in Brazil, then as armor in New York’s fashion scene, where designer clothes and all-black looks became a way to project power while he quietly fell apart inside. Through conversations about addiction, grief, queerness, spirituality, love, and the pressure to perform perfection, Sah reveals how deeply style has mirrored his inner world at every stage of his life. After losing his mother to cancer and confronting death through spiritual reckoning, his intention through self-expression transformed completely. Today, getting dressed is no longer about superiority, or performing to be desired. It’s an expression of how sacred it is to be alive, to be seen honestly, and to believe you are worthy of love exactly as you are.
