I thank the women of my family for my passion of style. The quality of well made garments, sustainability of hand-me-downs & timeless pieces
What makes your style stand out?
My wardrobe, or like 98% of it, was passed down to me. It’s fun to mix & match not only patterns but also eras! New with old, designer with flea market finds, or my grandma’s night gown with my brand new Doc Martens. I’m most inspired by finding new ways to use old things. I stay far away from fast fashion of any kind.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to be a designer myself. It has been my dream since childhood to go to school to study fashion, live in a New York loft, and create!
What would you do with $20,000?
I would get my degree in fashion design!!! I have never had the money to go to college & I never qualified for any assistance. This would be the perfect opportunity for my dreams to become reality!
