What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it's never about perfection-it's about personality. I mix timeless pieces with unexpected details, creating looks that feel lived-in, bold, and a little unpredictable. It's a balance between elegance and rebellion, shaped by emotion rather than rules
What’s your dream fashion moment?

What would you do with $20,000?
I would spend the prize in two ways. The first would be for my personal journey, I’d dedicate the prize to curating a wardrobe that tells my story – pieces that celebrate individuality, culture, and the art of self-expression. The second way would be for my creative growth, I’d use the prize to collaborate with emerging designers, travel for inspiration, and build experiences that fuel my creativity and style
