What makes your style stand out?

I like to draw inspiration from many different people and time periods. Some of my biggest inspirations are Debby Harry, Joann Jett, Audrey Hepburn, Lana Del Rey, and Lita Ford. I love structured tailoring, as well as loose structured pieces. I adore prints and colors and different textures in my clothes and outfits. In all many things inspire my outfits like film, art, music, and theater. I love mixing hyper feminine with masculine pieces for more androgynous and interesting outfits.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

A dream would be to get backstage at a big fashion show and see what the process of designing and putting on fashion show is like. I have been working in theater for 2 years as a hair and makeup artist and would love to expand my knowledge and experience. I enjoy working with people and seeing how the pieces come together to create and put on a fashion show would be incredible. I thoroughly love getting to meet other creatives and see what their process is like.

What would you do with $20,000?

I am currently in school and have one more year. I am studying film production with the hopes of someday being a production designer. As of right now I am working as a hair and makeup artist in theater. I graduated high school with my cosmetology license to try and save money and pay my own way through film school with minimal loans. This money would go towards helping me finish film school and helping me achieve my dreams. I have worked incredibly hard to achieve my goals and plan on continuing
