As fundamental to Agathe as her tomboy layers is brutal honesty around her struggles. From the destabilizing fear of abandonment to dressing to avoid the invasion of the male gaze, Agathe’s journey from darkness to truth has grounded her in healthy communication with her partner, who committed to sobriety when she found it in herself to give him an ultimatum. Agathe may know pain, but her refusal to be ashamed of it has given way to a fuller self with no tolerance for being a model and wearing someone else’s style, or for love that is selfish. ________ FOLLOW STYLELIKEU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram:   / stylelikeu   Facebook:   / stylelikeu   Shot in Berlin and Paris Founded by mother-daughter duo, Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, StyleLikeU is a movement for acceptance rooted in radically honest docu-style videos that give voice to role models of all races, ages, genders, and body types who stand proudly outside of norms and are comfortable in their own skin.
