My style involves up cycling, a mix comfy & formal with 70s/90s feel. Going to stores I can hardly find what I dream to wear, so I make it!
What makes your style stand out?
Unusual textures, cuts, and styling my clothing makes my style stand out to daily people. Since I thrift all my material it’s nearly impossible to recreate the items I make. I’ve always gone against the grain and would tolerate bulling just to wear my knee high converse with barrettes that matched the graffiti leggings. Usually the color, fit of the clothes and the aesthetic it all is what I gravitate towards which happens to be uncommon in my everyday life.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to see random people feeling their absolute best most attractive self in my clothing.
What would you do with $20,000?
With 20k I’d plan on starting covering my foundation, my tools. Ensuring I have the proper equipment to create my dream pieces more precisely. Then I would hire some local artists who can sew. Teach these artist easy upcycle projects, and charge fair amounts. This would help keep clothing/materials from going to landfills and ethical labor, while I work on big upcycle projects for local residents and celebrities to buy or collab with. Entering the fashion world sustainably.
