I make most of my own clothes and many people complement me on my sense of style. My style is most often described as eccentric.

What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it refuses to follow a single rulebook. I mix textures, patterns, and silhouettes in ways that shouldn’t work — but somehow do. Every outfit is a piece of self-expression, crafted by hand, and meant to spark curiosity or conversation. My look is a blend of fearless creativity and eccentric flair, which makes it unforgettable.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be debuting a collection I’ve designed on a runway where individuality is celebrated — seeing models walk in pieces I’ve poured myself into, with the audience feeling the energy and story behind them. It would be a moment where my eccentric vision meets the world’s stage, proving that unconventional style can be powerful, beautiful, and inspiring.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would invest in creating a sustainable, small-scale fashion line that highlights handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces. I’d source unique fabrics, expand my sewing equipment, and share my designs through shows and community workshops. It wouldn’t just fund my dream — it would create opportunities for others to embrace creativity, individuality, and confidence through style.
