I'm passionate about style because it empowers self-expression, challenges norms, & fosters community. Fashion should be fun & accessible.
What makes your style stand out?
I stand out by embracing authenticity and individuality in my style that makes me feel good and encourages others. My goal is to inspire inclusivity and fresh perspectives in fashion, and to help others celebrate creativity and self-expression. My motto is, ‘You too can be a fool for fashion!“
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To work with Thom Browne to create a one of a kind look to wear at the Met Gala.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would use the money to build my brand around fashion and styling. I want to inspire others to embrace fashion as a way to celebrate what’s makes them great. As a fashion and style expert I want to showcase how fashion intersects with other aspects of life (like with food, travel and lifestyle). I’d use the funds to host events, network with other fashion creatives and enhance my social media presence in an effort to reach a wider audience.
