What makes your style stand out?

I think my style stands out because it’s a reflection of everything I’ve lived through, a mix of softness, rebellion, and a deep love for self-expression. My style isn’t about perfection, it’s more about presence.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be walking down a major runway – maybe in Milan or Paris and feeling the lights hit me knowing how far I’ve come. I want that moment where it’s not just about the outfit, but about the story behind it – a South Asian trans girl standing tall, representing possibility. I imagine the energy, the applause, and that single second where everything feels still, like the world is finally seeing me.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d put it toward building my modeling career, travel for shows, and developing my portfolio to reach bigger stages. But I’d also want to use part of it to create something that helps other trans girls in South Asia get visibility and confidence in fashion. Because for me, success doesn’t mean being the only one in the room, instead it means opening the door wider for the next one to walk through.
