My style is a reflection of my experience, the clothes i thrift and sew reflect the way i perceive my spirit. Full of wonder and vivacity.

What makes your style stand out?

I throw together exclusively vintage, hand-me-downs, and thrifted clothing with a priority for sustainability in both fashion and textile wear.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

One day I want to open up a clothing brand with accessible fashion and affordable designs. I want to encourage others to create and embrace the quirky and unique nature of fashion as a whole.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay off my tuition!!! And hopefully jumpstart my art career to inspire others like me :D
